Harvey Grotzky Stuntman turns candidate A former movie stuntman and race car driver running for the Republican nomination for governor charged that state suppression of criticism has ruined quality education in Nebraska. Harvey Grotzky, a retired interior decorator from Kearney, said no one listens to students who complain about their education. "University students may not always propose what is best for them but shouldn't we at least listen?" he asked in an exclusive interview Wednesday. "Adults have spoiled the nation so can we logically assume we always have the answer." The 60-year-old candidate said students have both the right and the reason to protest because the government's refusal to listen to the common citizen leaves them no other choice. In Nebraska, he said, there are "any number of times faculty and administration has simply ignored the student's voice." He blasted the University Board of Regents, terming their closed-door 6 t ' A . 1 VV vf.'Ni 1 X J session "100 per cent contrary to the Constitution and everything our forefathers worked for." Grotzky said, "In state government there is no excuse for ever holding a meeting that citizens cannot freely attend." Grotzky compared Nebraska's future to ancient Egypt "We can build a lot of things but if there is no public support they will be of no more value than the pyramids which still stand long after the society that built them crumbled." He said he entered the Nebraska governor's race because "state govern ment no longer serves the people, in stead it serves the office holder." The capitol, he said, "has become a monster that represents suppression and this is one member of the silent majority that will not remain silent any longer." He attacked primary opponent Clifton Batchelder charging he turned-down time on educational television "because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to avoid the issues any longer." He said the state senator from Omaha "offers to cut spending but never says where or how." On the other hand, he said, incumbent Gov. Norbert Tiemann "spends money like it was going out of style." The Republican candidate said governments should listen to the citizen first and then decide on the merits of a project instead "of building something and then trying to convince the public of its value." "I would propose a committee or series of committees that would work with citizens weighing the good and bad points of each project and demonstrating the value," he said. "We can save a lot of money that way." Citizens are afraid to go to the capitol building because state employees are not willing to assist them, Grotzky said. "They act like you have no right to be there because you're Just in their way. The point is, we own that building and how can we be in their way when they work for us7 J !
