Semken said the approval is only conditions have to be initial and a contract written upon agreed up. Worthington said the school wants to lease the building for one year, with an option for a second year. The college would be responsible for the security and payment of utilities of the structure. Once the contract is signed the college will probably rename the facility as the Washington Park Residence Hall, he added.

The Army formed the Jazz Ambassadors in March of 1969 after it recognized, what the Army felt, was a cultural gap that developed in the last generation.
