After a busy week of free-agent signings, the Jets have only one unfilled position left on defense: tackle.

The company said it had removed Boak Sells as chief executive, leaving that position unfilled.

If things go on as they are, there will be 230 unfilled positions at Oxford by the 1991-92 academic year.

Democratic legislators began two years ago to seek reductions in the list of unfilled positions.

The administration also says that the county's high bond rating, triple-A, is in part a product of the fiscal surplus created by the unfilled positions.

Among other things, the $1.3 billion budget lays off 295 current workers and abolishes about 800 other unfilled positions.

Multiply that by 968 unfilled positions and you get $43.56 million, or a real-property tax cut of 10 percent.

The company also said that William Scharffenberger had been elected to the unfilled position of chairman.

The new arrivals have been taking completely new jobs or previously unfilled positions.
