Letter To The Editor Dear Editor: It Is clearly evident that the Assumption Parish School Board totally disregards applications, qualifications and experience It comes to the selection of school board employees (particularly bus operators.) Recently I wis called upon to be a substitute driver for a school bus route that was vacated by the resignation of Mr. Henry Keyes.

I was quite famllar with the route as I had driven this route last school year for two months as a substitute driver. Normally when a vacancy occurs, it Is a general assumption that the substitute driver, If qualified and experienced will get the appointment as bus operator. Having the backing of the school board member of which ninety percent of the route is In his ward, and feeling that I am qualified and experienced, I wis anticipating the Job as school bus operator. However, another certain school board member has taken it upon himself to make this apolitical Is- Nichoils State's offense almost didnt show up at all Saturday night and then the Colonels fumbled the ball away four times and threw three taterceptiona that helped give Troy State Unlveriaty to a 14-0 Gulf South Conference victory. The first Trojan touchdown was practically a gift, as Nichoils surrendered the ball at its own IS yard line in the first series of the game.

Barney Jones converted the miscue Into touchdown with runs of five and eight yards, and Randy Yancey kicked the extra point with 11:37 left In the first quarter. NlchoUa bounced back for ita bast offensive showing of the night with a yard drive that resulted in a yard field goal by Clem Mages. The drive got off to good start with a 21 yard kickofl return by Carl Templet then Steve Stropolo and Islah Wagner combined for runt of all and five yards and a firs down, Ricky Lovell ran for three yards and Tad Bergeron passed to Gerald Butler for IS, than hit Edwin Roberts on a IS yard pass play. After a five yard run by Bergeron, an uncomplete paaa and a three yard pickup by Wagner. Magee booted lis field goal with quarter.

After that, the offense shut down almost completely, and the Colonels had to thank their defensive team for their only touchdown of the night, with a punt blocked lata the endsone and a recovery by noseguard Kan Ortolano. Troy had consolidated its land with a yard scoring strut from quarterback Gerald Collins to spilt end Perry Griggs with 11:11 showing on the 1 second quarter the Nichoils touchdown earn shortly after Griggs fielded a 47 yard Dan Browu punt at the SO yard line then back pedaled for running room only to bo dropped by the CoioneU' Milton Scott at the eight yard line for 12 yard loss. Jones rushed for two yards, but Collins lost It back when Kurt Rea tackled him back of the line. Sullivan Walker picked up only seven of the needed 10 yards and the Trojans went into punt formation. Byron Boyd and several other red shirtod Nichoils players swarmed toward punter Lester Teel, with Boyd blocking the ball back past the goal Urn where Ortolano fell on it for the score.

Magae'i extra point kick was wide to the left, but Nichoils was back in the ball gamo trailing by five points. Grins returned the ensuing Uckof six yards to the 12 yard line, but the return yardage was lost to the Trojans by a dtp penalty. Walker gained two yards and Ron Daniels got five more on second down, but fumbled with Steve Dupuia recovering for Nichoils at the 11. With a chance to go ahead, the stuttering Nichoils offense settled for a turnover. Stropolo gained two yards but Wagner lost two, then on third down Bergeron picked up one yard and fumbled, with Ralph Sanders recovering for the Trojans at the 14.

Treat said today Amtrak officials have recommended the Amtrak train stop at Schriever, be converted from an ex- ptrimental stop to a permanent 1 atop. Treen said Amtrak has recommended the stop be made permanent because the daily passenger load has averaged more than 2 1-2 times the level required to keep the stop operational.

Amtrak opened the stop on Oct. 26, 175, largely because of the efforts of Treen and local officials. Amtrak provides tri-weekly service to and from New Orleans.
