BROTHER LEON E. JORDIMI Arizona Teacher Of The Year A biology teacher at Camelback High School, Brother Leon E. Jordan, has been named Arizona Teacher of the Year for 1972 by the State Department of Education. Brother Jordan, 49, of 2135 E. Corona, was cited as a "nationally recognized authority in biology." His name will be entered in a contest for the national teacher-of-the-year award, sponsored by the Association of Chief State School Officers. "You are certainly very deserving of this special recognition," wrote State School Supt. Weldon P. Shofstall informing him of the honor. Brother Jordan, who was out of town when the announcement was made, is a graduate of Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Mo., and holds a master's degree from Kansas State University. He also has received scholarships from the National Science Foundation for study at Arizona State University, New Mexico University and the University of California at Berkeley. Brother Jordan once taught at, and was head basketball coach for Carver High School in south Phoenix, now headquarters of the Phoenix Union High School District business office. He has served as vice president of the National Association of Biology Teachers and was named Arizona's outstanding biology teacher in 1964. He has been a teacher for 20 years, the last 17 at Camelback. Dr. Carolyn Scott, principal at Camelback, described Brother Jordan as a "master teacher in terms of subject matter."

TELLS AT & T TO NOT IGNORE THE POOR
Brother Ralph H. Metcalfe
Washington — U.S. Rep. Brother Ralph H. Metcalfe, (D-IU) told a group of AT&T Vice-Presidents at a luncheon in New York that the company must make a commitment to minority and poor people who have been "left out of the American dream." Speaking at one of the company's monthly luncheons for management personnel, Brother Metcalfe said, "the responsibilities of AT&T do not end at the boundaries of its vast corporate federation. As a legal monopoly supported and patronized by nearly every American citizen, the Bell System has a very major obligation to the communities and people it serves. AT&T can aid in resurrecting our inner cities by investing both confidence and capital into these areas," Brother Metcalfe said. "It may be more economical to build a new laboratory or factory in an industrial park in some outlying suburb. However, the commitment must be to the central city where
minorities would have access to the jobs a new factory would create. Such measures would provide a double blow against unemployment by bringing new money into the community, bolstering local businesses and the local economy." The Congressman said he thought AT&T had already made some commitment to urban areas, and complimented AT&T Vice-Chairman John DeButts for acknowledging that "unless our cities survive, we won't either." "For myself," said Brother Metcalfe, "John DeButts' statement is a lot more than rhetoric. As a Black Chicago Congressman from the heart of Chicago's Black Community. I am directly involved with the struggle for survival of our cities. I am confronted with the problems of a Black unemployment rate nearly double that of Whites. I see meager welfare budgets slashed because the governor says he can't find funds. "I see poor and diasbled, unable to obtain adequate medical care. I see housing without heat or adequate plumbing, and I see Black G.I.'s who have returned from battles overseas only to discover an even greater battle for survival in the streets of Chicago with unfair discharges that make employment virtually impossible. "These problems may seem remote from high rise executive offices, but no matter where I am, I cannot forget and I urge you, not only as executives of the largest corporation of the world, but as human beings, not to ignore these problems."
