By Henry Butler BLOOMINGTON, Mar. 19—Indiana University's “Parsifal” continues to be a magnificent achievement. Yesterday's third Palm Sunday presentation of Wagner's music drama of sin and redemption drew a large and appreciative throng to IU auditorium. ; With the amazing team of Ernst Hoffman and Hans Busch doing music and stage directing, and with a. couple of student veterans and some

newcomers in important roles, the opera yesterday seemed better than ever, As put on by Dean Wilfred C.
