On October 30, The Roundup's editorial staff conducted opinion polling on the student body's preferences for presidential candidates, Texan senators, and, of course, Halloween candy. The results are now in, and the votes all tallied, so let's take a look. As a note, not all values will add to 100 due to rounding. Presidential Polling Here, students were given 4 choices: Donald...

It's come to my attention that many readers of The Roundup have a deep desire: to lose a debate in as avoidably a fashion as possible. So, I thought I would write a bullet-point guide to losing completely winnable arguments using the best template I know of: Donald "J for Jenious" Trump. Pre-Debate Preparation Success in any field requires many days...

Welcome back, one and all, to another great year at Jesuit. While I hope your summer was a relaxing one, it has been far from calm across the world. Both at home and abroad, the summer season has been... eventful. Here, we'll look first at the world stage and then the domestic U.S. political scene. Foreign Events Ukraine's war effort is...

Welcome back to this especially happy topic. Where we left off, Israel had just defeated yet another Arab invasion and had just wrapped up the last of its conventional wars. However, if that meant the people of Israel could rest easy I wouldn't be writing this series. Instead, the 50 years since Israel's last conventional war have been plagued...

The week of March 10, the Jesuit Varsity Debate Team embarked on one of the most important tournaments they participate in. They put up an impressive performance in the 2024 Texas Forensic Association State Tournament and made Jesuit proud. The 88-team Houston-based event saw three teams of ours qualify, ending solidly and with an optimistic outlook from the Jesuit...

Part 3 of this series is about the 1973 Yom Kippur War, perhaps the closest call in Israel's history. The IDF's complacency and cockiness almost caught up with it this time, and this war would redefine all nations involved. Many a misconception exists about this war, with some Arab nationalists somehow deluding themselves into believing they won. I'm here to...
