We are delighted to be hosting the 56th National Debate Tournament and trust that your experiences here will be good ones. I' I" Southwest Missouri State boasts a long and venerable debate tradition. Founded in the I',I earliest days ofthe institution, our debate program has been a cornerstone ofthe SMSU educational enterprise, and we take great pride in its history, its successes, and its alumni who have made us proud through their many contributions in communities all over the country. We, like all institutions ofhigher education who are committed to debate, recognize the intrinsic value ofthis discipline to the fulfillment ofour fundamental goal of producing educated citizens, defined first and foremost, in my opinion, as people who can think critically. Debate fosters critical thinking as well as any discipline I know. When one adds such skills as argumentation and persuasion to the composite profile of the debater. it can come as no surprise that many ofcontemporary society's leaders have debate ~- backgrounds. We at Southwest Missouri State University salute you, congratulate you for having qualified for this prestigious event, and wish you well in the competitions of the tournament. Sincerely, ~-rMJ.~ ~Belcher, Dean College of Arts and Letters 4 2002 9{ationa[ Debate Tournament Scheduie 7:45 ContinentalBreakfast 8:15 Announcement of'Round I 11:15 Lunch Break 12:45 AnnouncernenrofRound II 3:00 Reception, Meyer Library 4:45 Announcement ofRound III 7:45 Continental Breakfast 8:15 Announcement ofRound IV 11:15 Lunch Br~ak 12:45 Announcement ofRound V 4:45 Announcement ofRo"undVI I 11 ~ 7:45 Continental Breakfast 8:15 Announcement of Round VII 11:15 Lunch Break i fi 12:45 Announcement ofRound VIII :j 4:45 Announcement ofFirst Elimination Round ~ 8:30 Tournament Banquet, Clarion Ballroom j I j I: I 7:15 Drawing ofOctofinal judges, Clarion Hotel 7:30 Announcement ofocrofinals 8:30 Ocrofinal round begins Rounds continue throughout theday at Clarion Hotel 5 ~ :: , , ; ,: . --' ;Pairingswilfb,.ereadintheiPl~ter' ...

During its early years, the institution's primary purpose was the preparation of teachers for the public school systems in the southwest region of Missouri. The first name change came in 1919 when the school became Southwest Missouri State Teachers College, reflecting its regional mission. By the mid-1940s, the University had expanded its instructional program be yond teacher education to include the liberal arts and sciences; and as a consequence, the Missouri legislature, in 1945, authorized an official change in the institution's name to Southwest Missouri State College. By 1972, as additional programs were implemented at the undergraduate level, and with the development of graduate edu cation, the University had become an educationally diverse institution. Recognition of this further growth and development again resulted in an official change in name to Southwest Missouri State University. Today, the institution is a multipurpose, metro politan university providing diverse instructional, research, and service programs. In 1963, a residence center offering freshman and sophomore level courses was established at West Plains. Now, as a second campus of the university with its own mission, the West Plains campus offers a two-year general education program, which is fully integrated with programs on the main campus, as well as other specialty and skills courses. The State Fruit Experiment Station, established by a legislative act in 1899, is the oldest identifiable segment of Southwest Missouri State University. Until 1974, it operated as a state agency under a board of trustees appointed by the Governor. A5 a result of the Omnibus State Reorganization Act of 1974, administrative responsibility for the Station was given to the Board of Regents of the University. In 1984, the Station was assigned departmental status in the College of Health and Applied Sci ences as part of a reorganization of the University. The most recent university mission statement identifies the Station as a separate campus with a research designation. FACILITIES I!J 1. AlumnlCenler 2. Archa8olollyReseerch 3. ArtAnnsl 4.
