Postmaster General Wil liam Bolger told the crowd that no matter where the main Houston post office is located in the future, it will be known as the Barbara Jordan Building. Speaking from a wheelchair, Jor dan said she turned to the Bible when she had difficulty defining the honor. Quoting from Matthew 13:57, Jordan said, “A prophet is not f without honor save in nis own coun- ry and in his own house. “If knowing me you still honor me n this way ... then this is the highest tribute that can be paid to any living fiuman being,” she said. “I’m glad /ou’re doing this. I like it. I like it a ot.” She was praised by Rep. Mickey Leland, D-Texas, as paving the way for other black and Hispanic poli- licians. Leland, who now represents ;he 18th Congressional District jerved by Jordan, sponsored the res- alution that was unanimously ap proved by the U.S. House to name the building after her. Leland said the district still is re ferred to as Barbara Jordan’s district and he finds it difficult to walk in her footsteps. Jordan, now a professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs ht the University of Texas, said she would not run for Congress again, then drew laughter and applause when she added - from the 18th District. “So many things are happening for women these days in politics. We have (Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine) Ferraro — she may be paving the way,” Jordan said. Noting that she served six years in the Texas Senate, six years in Con gress and will be at the university sik years in January, Jordan said, “There’s no telling what the next six years will bring.” Around town Who’s Who applications available soon Applications for Who’s Who Among Students in American Uni versifies and Colleges will be available, beginning Sept. 10, at boxes located in the Commandant’s Office, MSG, Student Activities Office, Zachary Engineering Center, Sterling C.
