The university's plan to build a dormitory there has helped to set off a neighborhood revival. And, as one urban planner notes, it's also boosting the university's appeal to the area's student market. But this year, as shrinking Medicare and HMO payments meet rising drug and labor costs, UCLA will be to lucky break even. Act first, worry later.

Trouble is, that same overheated job market has already poached the University of Texas professor that was slated to teach the course Dan needs.
