Armament Causes Delay Of New Steel The national re-armament has thrown a monkey wrench into construction work on the gym-nasium an interview with Presi-dent Joseph Knutson reveals. Materials are continuing to be stockpiled for the building, Knut-son said, but construction is be-ing held up until new steel to re-place that ruined by the collapse of the superstructure is allocated by the government. "As steel is the principle Item In the government rearmament program the federal authorities watch its distribution more than any other material," Knutson said. "At first the college was promised the necessary steel the third quarter of this year," he ad-ded. "Now we have the assur-ance that some of the steel will come the fourth quarter and the •balance will be delivered during the first quarter of 1952. Former Librarian Sails For Africa Miss Margaret Nordlie, former assistant librarian at Concordia, sailed August 1 for Zululand, Africa, where she will teach for two years under the board of foreign mission of the Evangeli-cal Lutheran church.
