The Department of Health, Education and Welfare has given the OK for Ambassador College to take possession of the Vista del Arroyo property which is one block from the campus. A representative of HEW who was contacted by telephone after Dr. Germano received notice of approval of our application, said now that the government approval has been given, it is up to Ambassador to decide if it will use the property.
Mr. Garner Ted Armstrong, contacted in route home from his Pacific trip, said "certain technicalities" in the deed to the Vista "need to be resolved. Our attorneys will be working in the next few days with the HEW legal representation to completely resolve any remaining question." He did not feel we could make the final decision involving the acquisition of the property until such negotiations concerning its intended use are finally resolved.
The Vista del Arroyo is a 24-building complex dominated by the seven story former hotel, on 12 acres one block west of the college campus. College officials have said it would be used primarily for student housing, a library and classrooms.
