Work on Buildings Is Behind Schedule Construction on building projects on campus—including the Helen Eakin Eisenhower Memorial Chapel—has been delayed several weeks because of late delivery of materials. A shortage of structural steel has caused most of the delay, but the supply of other building products has been hindered by such things as a strike at one manufacturing plant and the floods in the Northeast which ser iously damaged another factory. Walter H. Wiegand, supervisor of the physical plant, said yester day the workmen had made good progeess on the Chapel and be cause of the dry weather this summer had been ahead of sched ule However, he said, they had to wait on the steel shipment, which put them several weeks behind. He predicted that the workmen could not make up the lost time and said the Chapel probably would not be finished until sev eral weeks after the expected completion date—the summer of 1956.
