politica! prisoners, Luce estimates there are
v;m0tu, 900.000 confined for political reasons.
"If we spoke out about these prisoners in South
Vietnam we could get them released," he said.
"International concern kept (Alexandr) Solzhenitsyn
out of jail."
Luce urged Nebraskans to write their congressman
and senators about the release of these prisoners.
He suggested the names of two political prisoners:
Cao Thi Que Huong, a 35-year-old woman and
Nguyen Long, a 65-year-old lawyer imprisoned for
"defending political prisoners too vigorously."

Stipends
not lure
professors
Stipends originally intended to attract and keep
outstanding professors at NU apparently have been
successful, according to UNL administration and faculty
. members.
These yearly stipeoHs of 5.000 are the Regents
professorships that have been awarded to NU professors on
the basis of concern for teaching and the welfare of
students, involvement and service to the University and a
high level of scholarly achievement and potential, according
to a listing of criteria for regents professors. .
The Regents professorship began about 1962 by the NU
Alumni Assoc. as an endowment for distinguished teaching,
said Harry Haynie, NU Foundation president. Recipients
received $3,750 then.
"When we started this program, there was a real need to
co it pete with other universities (for good professors)," he
said. The funds added to a professor's salary helped in
competing, he said.
Wallace Peterson, a Regents professor and Dept. of
Economics chairman, said UNL suffered a major turnover
in good professors in the late 1950s.
Clifford Hardin, then UNL chancellor, helped initiate
the program to retain those professors, Peterson said. More
than 80 of regents professors have remained at NU
according to a 1972 report, he said.
NU has about 35 regents professors, with 20 at UNL,
Haynie said. Once selected, the professor receives the yearly
payment until retirement, he said.
Only full professors can receive regents professorships,
Haynie said.
Other faculty members make nominations which are
screened by a committee of current regents professors. The
committee makes recommendations to the chancellor who,
with the Board of Regents, approves a salection.
John Stephens, . executive assistant to the UNL
chancellor, said the Regents professorships are more a
reward for excellent work than an incentive to stay.
. But he said because of the financial situation there are
no plans for new situation professorships.
According to Haynie, four or five regents professors
were selected last year. He said the original intent of the
program was for about 20 professors. That figure was
reached in about four or five years, he said.
Henry Baumgarten, & regents professor and the Dept of
Chemistry chairman, said there was a nesd to continue the
program to keep good young instructors at NU.
"The people who do well are going to get offers from
other institutions," he said. He said the incentive of
possibly receiving a regents award after becoming a full
professor might keep them here.
He said if NU lost its outstanding young people, it
?aw(uldrr't JSeaWe o replace them at the same level."
Campbell McConnell, regents professor of economics,
agreed that the professorships should be continued and
expanded.
He said, on the national level, NU lags behind the other
schools in the level of full professors' ralaries. He said
Hardin's intent in helping to initiate the program was to
"punch a hole in what he saw as a ceiling on full professors'
salaries."
Peterson said in 1967 UNL professors earned an average
of $16,473, and this year earned $20,460. In terms of
buying power, the current $20,460 has only 88 of the
purchasing power it would have had in 1967, he said.
The problem with continuing and expanding the
program is money, Haynie said. More donors would need to
be found and there is speculation that some of the current
donors may discontinue their support, he said.
