WESTSIDE HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE 8701 PACIFIC
OMAHA NE 68114
(402)343-2644
September 1, 2002
Dear Colleague,
You and your students are cordially invited to the 2003 WESTSIDE
WARRIOR INVITATIONAL to be held on Friday and Saturday, January 17th and
18th at Omaha Westside High School. On Sunday January 19th the Varsity
Policy Division will conclude with two Tutorial Debates which will be held
at the host hotel, The Clarion. We are maintaining 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, Lincoln-Douglas Debate and Student
Congress will be held at Creighton Preparatory School (7400 Western
Avenue) which is located one and 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
