Britten Opera USC Plans Colorful Pageant
“Peter Grimes,” an opera revolving around the con-j flict between one man and an entire village, will open tomorrow night at 8 in Bo-vard Auditorium.
The plot is based on a poem, “The Burro.' byj George Crabbe. and involves a fisherman. Peter Grimes,! played by Richard Riffel, j who is ostracized by his community because of his non-conforming behavior.
Grimes is accused of murdering an assistant on his fishing boat, but because of questionable circumstances surrounding the death, the village jury acquits him.
Not Convinced The people of the village nre not convinced that Grimes did not kill the boy and he is rejected as a member of their narrow society.
Grimes wants to be accepted by them and believes the only way he can is to make money by fishing and have a home there.
According to Riffel, the character is of such a tem-permanent that even minute matters are often blown out of proportion. “Social pressures cause a gradual mental deterioration in him.
Grimes is befriended by Ellen, a widowed school teacher, played by Margaret Canning. She is more of a good friend than a sweetheart and attempts to help him become re-established in his community.
Sincere Love Miss Canning feels that Ellen’s love for Grimes is sin-1 cere and deep. “It is a redeem- j ing type of love, for some-j times a woman is able to pull a man out of his difficulties.” she	said.	John A. Darsie, assistant	acute	heart	attack Wednes-

A brilliant array of costumes, flags and exotic dances will transform the campus inta vast interna- j tional stage tomorrow during the university’s third annual Festival of Nations.
Activities will open with a Parade of All Nations featuring 26 Southland campus foreign student groups in homeland dress. They will perform portions of their native songs and dances while marching down University Avenue.
Songs and dances of other lands will occupy a major part of the day’s festivities.
Program
Individual country presentations, an International Film Festival, an international luncheon menu and an International Ball have also been planned, Bill Heeres, Festival of Nations chairman, said.
Three separate 30 minute programs will be simultaneously on three plat-! forms in Alumni Memorial Park from noon to 4. Dance groups, bands and choruses from different lands will put on the programs.
The International Students House will sponsor an International Film Festival featuring a continuous showing of foreign films in Hancock Auditorium while the Alumni Memorial Park programs are in progress.
International Menu
In addition, the Commons Cafeteria will keep with the international flavor of the day by offering a special international luncheon menu.
An International Ball highlighting the day will be held at 8 p.m. in Town and Gown. Chairman Heeres urged all foreign students to attend.
Parade participants will in

its third annual Festival of Nations. Represented at this international pageant, will be groups from 19 countries.
Cites Healthy Trend
Student government at USC is relatively healthy compared to similar systems at other universities. President Topping told nearly 200 student, faculty and administration leaders last night.
Speaking at the joint semiannual student leader banquet and inauguration, Dr. Topping explained that he feels student government during the past five years he has served as president has been beneficial to students and their leaders.
Mistake«
“There have been mistakes by student government,” he said. “I’ve made mistakes. We’ve all made mistakes. But I feel during the past five years there has been progress and that we have all benefit-; ted.”
Dr. Topping said he had told members of the Faculty Senate as much at a recent | meeting when he reported ithat student leaders are ma-j ture individuals who should have “real responsibilities.” He explained that some of the Senate members had been upset by water fights on Fraternity Row.
The president told the new student leaders who were to —Daily Trojan Photo take the oath of office that
