st: Simplifying multiple cases of the if command

Hi all.
This might be a very easy question, but if I have a number of things
that have to hold when generating a variable, is there a way to
simplify the following?
generate variable if news== 1 | news == 3 | news ==5
to something like
generate variable if news == 1 | 3 | 5? I tried this
Thanks!
