      students
      are
      of-

      accused
      of
      being
      apa-
     
     
      thetic
      and
      lacking
      school
     
     
      spirit.
      One
      student
      at
      UPEI
     
     
      is
      doing
      her
      part
      to
      change
     
     
      that
      attitude
      by
      forming
      a
     
     
      cheerleading
      team.
     
    

    
     
      School
      spirit
      is
      most
     
     
      obviously
      reflected
      in
      our
     
     
      sports
      teams,
      and

      student
      attendance
      at
     
     
      those
      games.
      Carla
     
     
      Francheville,
      a
      new
      student
     
     
      to
      the
      univeristy,
      noticed
      that
     
     
      students
      at
      UPEI
      sports
      are
     
     
      “very
      serious
      at
      games,
      with
     
     
      not
      much
      spectator
      involve-
     
     
      ment.”
      She
      is
      starting
      a
     
     
      cheerleading
      team
      because
     
     
      she
      believes
      having
      cheer-
     
     
      leaders
      present
      at
      those
     
     
      games
      is
      necessary
      to
      help
     
     
      boost
      spirits.
      “Every
      team
     
    
   
   
    
     
      needs
      moral
      support,
      and
     
     
      every
      team
      can
      play
      better
     
    
   
   
    
     
      when
      they
      have
      their
      school
     
     
      backing
      them
      up”
      she
      noted.
     
     
      As
      well,
      Francheville
      be-
     
     
      lieves
      that
      having
      a
     
     
      cheerleading
      team
      present
     
     
      will
      help
      stir
      up
      the
      crowd,
     
     
      and
      increase
      spectator
      in-
     
     
      volvement.
     
    

    
     
      Francheville
      brings
     
     
      ten
      years
      of

      for
      McGill
      to

      UPEI
     
     
      squad.
      The
      McGill
      team
     
     
      cheered
      for
      home
      and

      in
      the
      opening
      of
      the
     
     
      French
      Juno
      Awards,
      and
     
     
      they
      were
      shown
      on
      TSN
      at

      Cup.
      Dur-
     
     
      ing
      McGIll
      games,
      the
      cheer-
     
     
      leaders
      did
      cheers
      on
      the
     
     
      sidelines,
      and
      well
      as

      ing
      timeouts
      and
      half-times.
     
    

    
     
      The
      UPEI
      cheering
     
     
      team
      will
      bea
      “power”
      team
     
     
      consisting
      of
      both
      men
      and
     
     
      women.
      Power
      cheering
      is
     
     
      defined
      as
      having
      very
     
     
      strong,
      precise,
      and
      bold
     
     
      movements.
      As
      well,
      most
     
     
      of
      the
      cheerer’s
      jobs
      are
      to
     
     
      stunt
      --
      not
      to
      sing.
     
     
      Francheville
      stressed
      that
     
     
      cheering
      is
      a
      physically
      de-
     
     
      manding
      sport
      that
      involves
     
    
   
   
    
     
      stunts
      such
      as
      midair
      flips.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      and
      pyramids.
      A
      basic
      stunt
     
     
      group
      consists
      of
      four
      peo-
     
     
      ple:
      two
      bases,
      a
      top
      who
      is
     
     
      litted
      and
      thrown
      by
      the
     
     
      bases,
      and
      a
      spotter
      to
      en-
     
     
      sure
      the
      stunt
      goes
      well.
      The
     
     
      ideal
      team
      can
      have
      any-
     
     
      where
      up
      to
      twenty
      mem-
     
     
      bers.
      To
      be
      a
      cheerleader,
     
     
      Francheville
      says
      that
     
     
      strength,
      agility,
      and
      dance,
     
     
      gymnastics

      How-
     
     
      ever,
      enthusiasm
      is
      a
      pre-
     
     
      requisite.
     
    

    
     
      The
      cheerleading

      Barb
      Mullaly,
      direc-
     
     
      tor
      of
      Athletics,
      said
      that
      the
     
     
      department
      was
      “very
     
     
      pleased
      to

      the
      team
     
     
      along.”
      Mullaly
      did
      not
      feel
     
     
      that
      there
      would
      be
      any
      com-

      between
      this
      team
     
     
      and
      the
      Cage
      Crew.
      In
      fact,
     
     
      she
      saw
      a
      role
      for
      the
      two
     
     
      groups
      to
      work
      together
      in
     
     
      an

      The
      athletic
