Manpower shortage eyed in oil drilling industry
Oklahoma City AP report quotes Ron Tappmeyer of Reading & Bates Drilling Co and Ted Warren of the International Association of Drilling Contractors warning the oil industry lacks skilled workers to react quickly to price spikes or shortages. They note only about 1,200 rigs could operably begin within months, far from the 839 drilling now and far from 3,000 to 3,500 ready-to-work. The association backs an oil import fee to boost domestic competitiveness.

College tuitions outpace inflation in 1980s growth
A study for the American Council on Education finds college tuitions rising near 10 percent annually in the 1980s, roughly double inflation and faster than personal incomes. Analysts Hauptman and Hartle note tuitions outpaced medical care energy costs and home prices since 1970, though disposable personal income grew faster than tuition. Harvard Princeton Yale and the University of Chicago plan about 6 percent increases in September.
