I was there from 1990-94 and I'm pretty sure they taught us the U hand wave during the Darth Vader theme in our freshman orientation (along with "We've got some Canes over here...whoosh whoosh").
But I could just as easily be misremembering a mob mentality at the Orange Bowl.
Yeah. I'm fairly certain that the first time the cheerleaders tried to teach it to the student section was in 1988 for the home game against F$U. The band always played the Imperial Death March, but the cheerleaders only semi-occasionally tried to get us to do the U hand gestures.
