Do you know "Cheer"? No, we do not intend to talk about cheerleader girls like barbie dolls in the sports field's. we want talk to you about Anseong campus's one of the cultural item cheer. 
Anseong campus offers 45 majors in 9 colleges and holds an intramural athletic meeting in 9 colleges on every May. 30 majoring courses of 6 colleges (excepted for Music college, Korean traditional music college and Physical science college) prepare the "cheer" for the victory in the intramural athletic meeting.
What is the "Cheer"? This is one of the cultural inheritances on the Anseong campus. All participants complete for the honor of their majoring course and the victory in the intramural athletic meeting. It takes two months to prepare for the meeting. That is the most meaningful time in every Anseong campus schoolmate's memory, as it caused oneself cry or laugh from the cheering. Cheer's origin goes up to over ten years ago and it has been practiced by 30 members for only one time the day of the intramural athletic meeting.

Anseong campus has various cheerleading teams. Chung-Ang University has a cheerleading squad, an abbreviation Hurrah-C, for the glory of the school. Hurrah-C is write a for Hurrah Chung-Ang University ,which means a cheer for Chung-Ang University. Hurrah-C is doing the various spheres of activity for the love of our school and the student's relationship. They have some goals : their schoolmate's cherish hope and sense of position. The number of Hurrah-C members is six, and they do two or three performances in a month for the school and outside events. It also tries to increase our school's reputation.

So then, what can we get things through a unique culture of "Cheer" on the Anseong campus? "Cheer" team members practice three ~ five hours every day as staying up for some days for the intramural athletic meeting. We have a question, why? What is the reason for such intense practice? The reason is a passion for victory and it is only them doing their best. Students do their best for union, sense of position and feel together. But there is an opposite opinion about it. It is an excessive passion for victory. So Cheer's original goal faded. They wanted to show a better performance, compared with other colleges or other majors. The meaning of "Cheer" is being changed more and more. They want only Cheer’s victory. This is one of the negative side effects. A strong exercise makes students tired, they don't hold their private time freely and not all every students take part in "Cheer." In that, doubt about the cheer's goals grew. Last year, one member Lee young- ju (04 clothing and textile), said "we must show everything in just ten minute, but the playing time is too short compared with the exercise time, and the chance is only one. So it was too much  inconvenience!" Thereupon, general student’s assembly made plans for the campus general intramural athletic meeting from the end of May to early June.

Absolutely, Anseong campus has a general intramural athletic meeting and it names as "Chung-Angchejeon" "Cheer" teams of each college compete in good faith through it. But the passion for victory is overheated, as a result. "Chung-Ang che jeon" disappeared. However, cheer is just to cheer my teams. Cheer makes me better stronger mentally, gives a chance to have good friends. But cheer and Hurrah-C is very different as meaning, form and method. Hurrah-C is cheering organ of sit for a Chung-Ang university and Anseong campus's cheer is feel so individual and it just for a champion of intramural athletic meeting. Above all things, Hurrah-C what is activity for face of school goal is love of all schoolmate's school and union and they without regard to champion. but, Cheer's final goal is champion of intramural athletic meeting and union of majoring course.
It has different form, goal and meaning of cheering. but Hurrah-C and Cheer team is will be feel similar that each other is cheering for schoolmate's honor. However, we're put to inconvenienced. that is unknown each other whom Seoul and Anseong campus school mate about Hurrah-C is face of school and original unique traditional Cheer of An-seong campus. yeun-se university or Han-yang university and so on university is working together among the both campus like wonju and shinchon or wangsimni and Ansan and they do the energetic interchange but us school isn't like that. cause why? Hurrah-C hasn't member from Anseong campus since 2001 and they lost them's office in Anseong campus. Hurrah-C's remember is disappeared more and more in Anseong campus. in old times, Hurrah-C had a top master from Anseong campus, but now hasn't. the problem is begin distance of both campus and absence of member from Anseong campus and so on. It rouse up the lost point of first departure in Anseong campus activity. They has some problem like a lack of public relation and wanted member from Anseong campus and so on caused interchange is decrease more and more of both campus. To say nothing of, Hurrah-C is not solution that is lack of interchange both campus. though, It has be full of ability to make a both campus schoolmate are feel the same and "we're Chung-Ang university student" and It is amplifier of interchange. This part is arouse sympathy include Hurah-C members and Anseong campus cheer team members. and they felt very inconvenienced.
Cheer and Hurrah-C are activities for the honor of the school. This aim is to bring classmates closer. It is a common point. These activities are good chances  to overcome limitation and have ourselves strengthen and help human relationships between individuals and society.
