Students protest society "Chengchi wildfire Front" Yangxing spokesman said the party-state anthem full of consciousness, but Chengchi already converted into a "national" university, should not be sung for the KMT, the road should move towards transitional justice, abolish the existing school song, Thus the October 16 raid, to the mountain Chiang statue painting "refused to sing the party song", "party song do not waste, retrogression in democracy" and so on.

The society said that each department should not sing the school song tradition, in fact, there are a lot of favors or behind conventional pressure, not the faculties "Cultural Cup" in charge of the team can afford, so even if there are a lot of people want to do, but actually very difficult series high; therefore painting by radical means is to increase the issue, so that we go to discuss action.

After painting action, the next morning Chengchi rapid clearance, no response. There are students said, painting increasing social costs, so that workers have to bear the cleaning work. Students also believes that all methods are tried, but the school is no representation, only with drastic measures to make everyone pay attention, but also to the school, do not let the workers as a shield, a good attention to student demands.

Subsequently, on October 20 sponsored student organizations countersigned repeal anthem, there are thousands of teachers and countersigned added.

Student Societies "NCCU wildfire Front" launched countersigned waste anthem activity (Figure / "National Chengchi wildfire Front" facebook) in school.





Anthem sound reform parties



However, National Chengchi University campus for the school song modify mixed views. Lin Yuanze Chengchi University philosophy professor, said the objective anthem indeed "party-state consciousness" exist, there is consensus, the wrong place can be modified, but from another angle, it can also be seen as a traditional symbol school, fear of change also changed anthem out graduates agree.

Chen Fang-ming of the Taiwan National Chengchi University professor of history supports the students, emphasizing Chengchi should be more free and open, in line with Taiwan's democratic culture, the anthem should not stay in the position of political parties, ideological domination.

National Chengchi University alumni Liu SM also said that school song is a "sense of national party," "beautiful, but also very old", feel the lyrics resonate sing, in the past only standard is specified to sing, learn siblings to abolish, stop singing are supported, "replace the old stuff is not bad."

National Chengchi main secret Kou Jianwen said, "Culture Cup" is held at the Student Affairs, is not simply the student community activities; To change the anthem, there must be some programs, including school meetings, alumni gather opinions, are yet to abolition of school song motion. Saying, in remarks pluralistic society, I hope the students to express their views at the same time, do not defaced public property.

寇健文 also stressed Chengchi anthem has been for decades, the school has maintained academic freedom, in the appointment of teachers and 升等 not consider partisan, like Chen Fang-ming, Joseph Wu 童振源 and other well-known green camp who are teachers or by Chengchi National Chengchi University. We do not want the outside world to the contents of the school song lyrics alone to look at National Chengchi University.

According to the "TheNewlLens" critical comments, editor Shih Yuan wrote that Chengchi weeks a principal with "a few days ago learned the ins and outs of the school song creation, the new anthem sung enough yet to discuss with alumni and teachers had" three reasons to veto the creation of Anthem song included in the specified options.

The school equity portion Minister Pei encyclical says unacceptable to the president to veto the creation of alumni fund-raising pressure by Anthem; will continue efforts to Have made unconditionally. In addition, the equity portion will also convene an affected system always called, communicate and discuss follow-up matters.

Designated for inclusion in the creation anthem song, Academic Affairs Academic Affairs Deputy chief Cai Yanlong description, Office of Student Affairs has not been promised anything, he explains, "I hope that the creation of the school song is sung in various ways into the atmosphere after the natural to the included in the specified song. This thing with students perception may be different. "

"Cultural Cup" person in charge Wang Wenli, admitted that "a lot when in fact the two sides do not understand each other's positions with comments. In my position, I can only try to understand the following sounds, and then convey up, and vice versa." She period Negotiations continued hope the two sides can reach a consensus.

Since the face of administrative procedures is wrong, why not convene a meeting of the question, Office of Student Affairs to explain, if re-run a program from a meeting to announce approval after the president, fear of delay time until mid-October, the principal consideration time too catch , do not have time to consult the views of teachers and alumni, it was decided to temporarily changes the current approach to the game.

Office of Student Affairs clarification, has been all happy to see "the creation of the school song," The dispute should be poor communication between both sides lead to cognitive differences. They also believe that many of the government is still not familiar with college students this song, if the direct vote after the inclusion of the specified song, also with a "mandatory" means, I hope this song is widely sung, "bottom-up" change "Culture Cup "stipulates that no pressure was intended.

Shih Yuan also said in the text, previously due to the rising tuition fees, cut work-study students, the principal, said unpaid weeks a dedication for the school and other events that led to the dispute between the school and students increasing. Of course, the continuous fermentation anthem events can also be considered a continuation of the two sides dissatisfied.
