But there's one thing about Carnaval he doesn't like: the scheduling of the holiday.<br><br>The festival here gets under way 50 days before Easter Sunday, a movable date based on the lunar calendar, this year March 23. That's the earliest Easter has been since 1913. For Mr. Araujo, who is cultural director for Rio's powerful Independent League of Samba Schools, that means a premature end to the summer tourist season and an "economic disaster" for the city.<br><br>Mr. Araujo is leading a radical campaign to have Carnaval begin on the first Sunday in March every year. The idea has the backing of Brazil's hotel association, and most travel agencies here seem to like it, too. The thinking is that an early Carnaval means vacationers will not have had enough time to regain their financial footing after Christmas and New Year's.<br><br><a class=)
