Traffic on Springfield Avenue in front of Uni is likely to become more congested than usual as construction work gets under way. Uni students won't be directly affected too much, but they need to factor in probable delays when they plan their commutes to school.

Practice paid off for Uni's new all-district musicians, who auditioned Monday at Bloomington High School. The district jazz festival is scheduled for Nov. 3 at Normal Community High School, followed two weeks later by the junior-senior district festival at Illinois State University. The top musicians at the high school level will go on to perform at the all-state music festival in Peoria in late January-early February.
