THE FAR SIDE
Chameleon faux pas: Arriving at a party in the same color as the host.
Carnival
Melissa Erwin, Lawrence junior, said, "Dancing to this music is different. It's harder work." The perspiration on her face threatened to dissolve her gold makeup mask as she danced.

It's festival time as participants at the Brazilian Carnival dance to wild samba rhythms.
Plenty of wild masks and inspired costumes added color to the carnival.
Pirates, clowns, American Indians, can-can girls, tourists and toga-clad Romans competed for attention with Japanese kimonos and business trees, a tropical bird, a palm tree, a monk, an Aztec emperor, a Spanish Flamenco dancer, a rock star, a male waitress and other wild-looking costumes.
"In Brazil, carnival is a time of freedom," said Valfredo Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, senior, and the association's president. "You do anything you want. It's good for people to look at you and laugh."
Doing anything one wants also allows for coming without a costume, and most participants did. Ojeda had donned a blue Rio de Janeiro T-shirt and was happy with that.
The prize for most original costume went to the tropical bird and the palm tree. Underneath were Erwin as the bird and Jim Andrews, Wichita senior, as the tree.
"I'm having fun, anyway," he said. But he thought costumes added a touch to the party. "Carnival is wearing costumes," he said.
"I knew my friend was coming as a bird, so I figured she needed a place to hatch," he said.
hours that afternoon playing with a plastic bag, a green fishing hat and some wire, coconuts and green paper to transform himself into a palm tree.
Carnival also is rewarding the most innovative costumes. The evening's peak was the moment when the most outrageous disguises took to the dance floor to compete for the judges' attention
The Aztec emperor and the sequin-clad "black" lady won the best couple award and were named carnival king and queen

Kan, said he wore the Aztec costume because he had acted the part in a school play as a child in Mexico City.
His carnival queen, the glittering "black" lady," turned out to be Ann Foley of Kansas City, Mo., disguised as a black woman.
Advertisements for the carnival and the $5 tickets, purchased in advance, did not inform guests of the rules. They did, however, tell people to bring their own beer and liquor.
Security guards and Knights of Columbus management let people bring liquor into the club but wouldn't let them bring beer.
A colorful clown won the best female costume award, and a monk won the prize for best male costume.
But some people never got to show their costumes. About 30 guests were turned away at the door because they were not 21, the legal drinking age.
Karen Winterburg, the club's acting manager, said that the law didn't allow underage people on the premises and that the club's policy was not to allow beer. She said the contract informed the party's organizers of those rules.
Santos, who signed the contract for the Brazilian-Portuguese Association, denied that the contract had ruled out brought-in beer.
