COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The University of South Carolina has moved some students after finding mold in a dorm.

The State newspaper reported (http://bit.ly/Q9tqo5) that students began noticing mold in Sims dorm rooms about two weeks ago.

The school alerted parents and began inspecting and testing in the 73-year-old dorm.
 
Officials say three of the dorm's 117 rooms required enough cleaning to move six students. School spokesman Wes Hickman says nine other students with a history of respiratory problems also moved out.
 
Hickman says there are no plans to move the other 219 students.
