URBANA, Ill. (AP) -- In a square room halfway up Altgeld Hall's tower, 73-year-old Sue Wood hustled across wooden floorboards.

In front of the giant clavier, or keyboard, she pushed lever after lever while moving side to side.

She was playing "Bee's Wax Rag," A fast, upbeat song.

"I try to stick with the tempo of the music. Whatever the music represents I try to put across in the chimes," she said. "If it's a march, I'll play fast, pound it out."
