The Roundup is the Jesuit Dallas Student Voice and Newspaper since 1942. Learn about us.

On Saturday May 20th, Bishop Edward Burns ordained eight men. Three of these ordained men are Jesuit graduates: Fr. Kevin Kolker ’11 , Fr. Cesar Garcia ’14, and Fr. Miguel Sotelo ’14. On September 11, Associate Editor Sebastian Suwanda ’26, and I interviewed Father Miguel Sotelo. We were able to learn more about Father Sotelo’s priestly formation and his...
Winning the Masters is one of those achievements in sports that is nearly impossible to attain, but if one can earn that green jacket, he is in the company of some of the greatest golfers to ever play the game. Such legends include Phil Michelson, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, and the great Jack Nicklaus. All of these golfers have won...
Take a moment and imagine yourself strolling down the B hallway en route to next period’s class. This ordinary daily task seems incredibly automatic as students and faculty walk down the hallway like a network of ants speeding along their dirt highway.

Michael Kammer, S.J.  Shaking his hand, Charles gazes out into the crowd of students watching him. This is not just any other night; it is the class of 1958’s graduation, a night filled...
For natives of the 21st century, the milieu of the 1950’s likely seems strange and foreign. The fastest car of the day, the Ford Thunderbird, hit maximum speeds of 75 miles per hour, low-speed by today’s standards; drivers paid a tantalizingly low 18 cents for a gallon of gasoline; and, probably most shocking of all to a present-day observer,...
At Jesuit, sports are a significant part of lives where we strive to push our physical capabilities beyond their thresholds. To help our bodies prepare, we retreat to the weight rooms and gyms to add more resistance and to challenge our bodies further than the field, pool, or track can provide. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, athletes who...
