06011 and Styche setting new records
By Dave Donlin
The combination 'of Ochall
and Styche over the past two
years was one of the major
reasons Capitol's basketball
team had its finest back-to-back
seasons in its history.
Bill Ochall gave the team .a
scoring punch that has yet to be
equaled and Bill Styche's pass
ing ability allowed the offense
better shots.
"They are two fine basket
ball players and two fine peo
ple," Charlie Bowen, Capitol's
Head Coach said. "Ochall and
styche work so well together.
How do you replace the alltime
leading scorer and assist man at
Capitol Campus? Maybe you
can't."
Ochall, a 6'3" senior for
ward, reached the 1,000 point
plateau this season and he is on-

Miss Horne said she not on
ly intends to "accept this office
as a title," but she is willing to
be prepared to take over and
learn the president's duties in
case she is needed.
"Besides fulfilling all the
Juties of the vice-president,"
;he said she would also like "to
try to improve a campus
understanding and hopefully
from this, campus involvement
in SGA."
Capitol Campus students will

reach 1,000 points at Capitol.
In the 1984-85 season, Ochall
was one of the top 15 leading
NAIA scorers in the nation.
While playing this year, Bill
Ochall became the all-time
leading scorer at Capitol Cam
pus, surpassing Jackie Wilson's
mark of 1,083 points.
"Scoring 1,000 points meant
a lot of me," stated Ochall,
who averaged 25 points and 10
rebounds a game. "It's a big
honor."

Greytak, the chairman of that
committee, refused to release

However, the statements are

President Mekosh said the

all materials submitted in stu

In reference to his school
record of 1,189 points, Ochall
said, "I never really expected
that . . . it is a credit to Bill
Styche."
Ochall's co-captain Bill
Styche, is a 5'10" senior guard,
who is Capitol's all-time assist
leader with a record 335 assists
in 43 games.
Bill, who is a fine free-throw
shooter, ended with an 87.5
free-throw percentage for the
season, which placed him in the
Baseball coach predicts improvement

The Capitol Campus
Baseball team is the best team
we ever had according to head
coach Ron Melchiorre.
Although Capitol's current
record is 5-3 (as of March 27)
Melchiorre says the team's big
gest problem, pitching, will
work itself out.
"We have guys with poten
tial to be good pitchers and we
also have the best pitcher we
ever had back, Mike Gedz, but
at this point in the season we're
just giving up too many
walks," said Melchiorre.
Capitol's baseball team is a
good hitting one. They have a
team batting average of .410 ac-

for that category.
According to Bowen, Styche
is the most valuable player on
this year's team.
"The foul shooting percen
tage and the assist record are
my biggest accomplishments,"
the all-time leading assist man
said, who is well-known
through District 19 for his pass
ing ability.
In fact, Styche received an

Head Coach Melchiorre is
hopeful that the pitching will
come around. "With pitching
and the teams outstanding hit

anybody."
The seventeen player team is
very talented and they have a
good shot to make the playoffs,
according to Ron Melchiorre.
"Doug Knull has the poten
tial to be all-district in left
field," he said. "Shortstop Bob
Foster is the best we ever had
at that position and Randy
Henry is an outstanding center
fielder."
The co-captains are key
players for Melchiorre's team.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEY THE PLANE
TO BE PART OF
THE NAVAL AVIATION TEAM!
Look in the cockpit of a Navy jet and you'll see some
thing you wouldn't have seen a few years ago.
Two Seats
Today's planes are fast—and too sophisticated for one
person to handle by himself. So the Naval Flight
Officer runs the weapons systems, the computers and
the advanced electronics. He's a navigator, radar
operator, sub hunter, target tracker. He tells the pilot
what to do and when.
And he wears the wings of Naval Aviation.
If you're a college graduate in good physical condition
(vision correctable to 20/20), with an aptitude for math
and an attitude for adventure, you should look into the
Naval Flight Officer Program. U.S. citizens only.

season.
Self-satisfaction is not always
easily obtained, however.
Styche said, "I get self
satisfaction from seeing so
meone else like Bill (Ochall),
who is a great scorer, score."
Indeed, Styche's
unselfishness was apparent on
the basketball court throughout
his year and a half on the team.
He averaged not only 8 assists
per game this season, but broke
the assist record at Capitol
Campus.
The tandem of Ochall and
Styche proved to be a winning
one for the last two years at
Capitol, not only through their
basketball accomplishments,
but also through the recogni
tion they helped Capitol Cam
pus gain.

Melchiorre and Mike Gedz,

Melchiorre is confident that
his squad will friake a respec

they're at a disadvantage
because Capitol is a two-year
school.
"It's tough to build at
Capitol because you lose half of

Melchiorre said. "But this team

good teams."
