CONNECTICUT Thursday, March 1, 1973 Blue and White diner to close, ends tradition by Jay Sloves Come Friday, there will be only one restaurant remaining in the north campus area. Tom Nanos' Blue and White Restaurant is closing after 22 years, apparently the victim of pressure from the university, although no one will say as much.

According to Nanos the "rundown" condition of his restaurant was due to the lack of "security" he's had for the last nine years because he couldn't obtain a lease. When UConn bought the property, Nanos said he thought they would be more "lenient" but instead they gave him the "insecurity" of a month to month lease. This monthly leasing arrangement is the "usual procedure" for all university property, a UConn spokesman said. Nanos said he "can't spend that much money without security" and therefore "voluntarily" decided to "liquidate" the Blue & White. It was a "very simple 1...2...3." and now all "I can do is look for another job," he said. Nanos said he has "nothing against the university." It is the landlord and he is the tenant and either "I abide by their wishes or I'm out; I can't fight city hall," he said.
