buy Vista hotel
By DICKU.OYD
The sprawling, ooc�eleganl Vista
del Arroyo Hotel, new a vacant
monument to a by1oae era in Pasa
dena, won't be aolnt
to
Ambassador
College for restoration.
Ambassador College bas decided
not to accept tbe property from the
Department of Healtb, Education
and Welfare, attorneys for the col
lege announced, altboulb after ye••
of negotiation the college recently
was cleared to acquire it.
While the collep could take lhe
faclllty al an IO percent discount
from market value (estimated at $2.,
million). conditiOIJI '1 the convey
ance and federal lawa make the
transaction unsuitable, said S&anley
R.Rader, attorqeJ111dper'IOIIII aide
te college founder S.bert W. N·

The decision hinged on the prohit>
iled use of the property for "reli
gioos purposes or purposes of reli
gion," Rader said.
The questionof whetherthe college
uses the hotel property for relifPOUS
purposes would always be subject to
court challenge, Rader said, making
the investment of millions of dollars
in restoration and conversion •·too
risky."
"Whether or not the church or col
lege will be desirous of purchasing or
utilizing the property on some other
basis remains to be seen," Helge
said
