Mann has advised petroleum engi-
neering majors or others in energy-
related field that gaining work as a
roustabout or roughneck first would
be the best route. Then a worker could
be in position to gain higher employ-
ment when an opening occurs, he
said.
Hersberger tells students with ener-
gy degrees to look at other fields to
apply their degree, such as banking
where much energy-related financing
is done.
Still, employment in several fields
is available, the placement officers
say.
Accounting firms, retailers and in-
surance companies are among those
with jobs to offer But any position
that requires selling is frowned upon
by some, Tankersley said

School layoffs on docket
The Deer Creek School Board tonight will
consider a policy about a possible reduction in
employees. The regular meeting will be held at
7 in the superintendent's office, NW 206 and
MacArthur.
Superintendent Ron Schnee said the policy
would establish guidelines for reducing the
number of employees in the event of decreas-
ing enrollment, loss of funding, changes in pro-
grams or curriculum. Consideration of the pol-
icy does not mean cuts are being planned,
Schnee said.

; "The base problem is that many
firms are laying off people rather

dropped to less than half
the amount allowed by
the commission.
If stock prices fall, the
companies will have dif-
ficulty raising money by
selling stock. Officials
say poor stock perform-
ance also would lower
the firms' bond ratings.
That development
would increase the com-
pany's finance costs —
an expense ultimately
paid by customers.
At hearings for the in-
terim requests, how
much each group of cus-
tomers should pay was
as much or more of an
issue than the aggregate
amount of each in-
crease.
During the last 10
years, the commission
has placed all or most of
utility rate increases on
industrial users, said
Howard Motley, director
of the commission's pub-
lic utilities division.
Residential customers
— who pay less than
their cost of service —
are effectively subsi-
dized by industrial users
— who pay more than
their cost of service.
At the interim rate
hearings, attorneys (or
industrial customers ar-
gued vigorously that
rates for each customer
group should equal the
cost of serving that
group.
All three of the utili-
ties support movement
toward such rates in
their permanent re-
quests; Bell and ONG al-
so want to do so in their
interim cases.
Oklahoma's attorney
general, the designated
representative of rate-
payers' interests, has
asked the commission
not to allow any of the
interim increases
At the end of Bell's in-
terim hearing, the last
of the three interims to
be heard, assistant at-
torney general Rhonda
Singer said the shift in
rates to reflect cost of
service is especially
harmful because of the
timing of the three re-
quests.
•It's going to be, cu-
mulatively, a very sig-
nificant burden on the
ratepayers of this
state," she said.
But utility officials
say rate redistribution
Is needed to prevent
even larger increases in
residential rates. Motely
agrees.
"The commission felt
like the industrial and
commercial customers
could better absorb the
increases," he said “Now
they're looking more
closely at cost of service
because they don't want
to run industrial custom-
ers off.
“If that happens, rate
increases to residential
user* would come hard-
er."
Motely said residen-
tial customers would be
asked to compensate for
lost industrial customer
revenue. In those cir-
cumstances, be Mid, res-
