Page 4 The Transcript March 27, 2008 T-shirts do the talking Cheer squad hosts clinic for kiddies By Chelsie Pacha Transcript Correspondent

The OWU cheerleading squad is spreading school spirit by holding a “Kiddie Clinic” Satur- day, April 12, from 8:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. to teach young children some of their latest moves. "Our coach, Kate Moses, came up with the idea,” Soph- omore Heather Harkness said. “The clinic is open to any child age 5-10 in the local area, and they do not have to have any dance experience.” Some of the cheerleaders said they want the experience to help the little girls develop a spark of interest at a young age. “This gives girls a chance to either try cheerleading without making it a big commitment,” Sophomore Eilyn Segura said. “It can spark an interest in cheer- leading at a young age and can also show girls what it takes to be a cheerleader.” Harkness said the clinic will be a fun activity and a great learning experience. “We hope to provide a sense of pride in cheering and dance,” Harkness said. “We want to give a fun activity to the girls while also being role models for them and just have a fun experience.” The event will provide the girls with all of the basics of cheerleading. “The girls will be learning jumps, motions, spirit, dance routines and more,” Segura said. Sophomore Kelly Gardner said she is excited to bond as a team while also interacting with local children. “Most of the girls helping out with the clinic are either already on the squad, or plan to be in the squad next year,” Gardner said.

As the first day of spring rolled in only a week ago, students were reminded of an annual Ohio Wesleyan tradition: SpringFest. SpringFest, sponsored by Campus Programming Board, brings entertainment to the OWU students every year. This year, SpringFest will bring Gym Class Heroes to campus. The group formed just over a decade ago and is currently comprised of vocalist Travis McCoy, drummer Matt McGinley, guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo and bassist Eric Roberts. The name, GCH, was a result of where the friendship between McCoy and McGinley Photo from gymclassheroes.com formed: high school gym class, Gym Class Heroes' most recent album.
