WESTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE
*
8701 PACIFIC
OMAHA NE 68114
(402)343-2644 )
November 21, 2000
Dear Colleague,
You and your students are cordially invited to the 2001 WESTSIDE
WARRIOR INVITATIONAL to be held on Friday and Saturday, January 12th and
13th at the newly renovated Omaha Westside High School. On Sunday
January 14th the Varsity Policy Division will conclude with two Tutorial
Debates which will be held at the host hotel, the Holiday Inn. The
tournament management as well as the school itself has been ^Órenovated^Ô.
We hope to preserve the best of the old and bring you some new features.
We are returning to our traditional format which will include Individual
Events. Individual Events will be held on Friday only and novice
Lincoln-Douglas will be on Saturday only. In addition, on Saturday we
will have Student Congress again this year. All other debate divisions
will be two day events with the Sunday Tutorials in Varsity Policy.
Please check tournament information contained within to avoid confusion.
Individual Events and Lincoln-Douglas will be held at Westside Middle
School ( 8601 Arbor ) which is located one-half mile from Westside High
School ( 8701 Pacific ). We will hold all rounds of policy debate at
the high school. Registration for all divisions will be at Westside
High School.
Last year we played host to debaters and speakers from thirteen
states. We anticipate an even more geographically diverse field of
entrants this year. Please try to be with us in January. If you have
any questions please call me at school - 402-343-2644 or at home -
402-553-1641. Our FAX # is 402-343-2608.
The University of Kentucky Tournament of Champions has designated the
Warrior Invitational as a TOC qualifier at quarterfinals in both policy
and L-D.
We will again honor two members of the debate community with the Dr.
Walter Ulrich Award for contributions to forensic education through
judging. Dr. Walter Ulrich was one of the most esteemed educators and
scholars in the field of argumentation and debate. Dr. Ulrich^Òs
scholarly and pedagogical contributions to the activity are
measureless. We will give awards in both policy and Lincoln-Douglas
debate. These awards will be given at our awards assembly on Saturday.
Yours truly,
Colleen Richardson
Director of Forensics
Westside High School
