Dear Colleagues:

The LBJ Debate Society of Southwest Texas State University invites you
and your squad to join us on the weekend of February 20-22, 1998 for the
Texas Intercollegiate Forensics Association Debate Championships and
The South Central CEDA Regional Debate Tournament.

Both tournaments are open to schools outside of Texas and the South Central
Region, however, Texas schools must be TIFA members to be eligible for
school sweepstakes awards.

The tournament will feature six rounds of CEDA/NDT debate in Open, Junior,
Novice and Lincoln-Douglas Divisions as well as six rounds of Public Debate.

Housing:  Each school is responsible for securing their own housing.  We
recommend the La Quinta Inn, 1619 I-35 North.  Their rate for four in a

suggest upon request.  The La Quinta's number is 512-392-8800.  Please

rounds  as well as speaker awards in each division.  The TIFA Debate
Sweepstakes award will be awarded at the conclusion of the tournament.

open division.  All divisions will debate six rounds.

to remain for one round past the point of thier team's/individual's
elimination.

Emtry Deadlines:  Entries must be received by February 16th (Monday).
Fees will be assessed on Wednesday February 18th.  Debate drops or adds
