Title

Don Aina and Millie Ah Ching at the Luau

Description

Pacific University students Don Aina (Class of 1967) and Millie Ah Ching at one of the university's annual Lu'aus, possibly in 1971 or 1972. Millie Ah Ching is wearing a white dress that was usually worn by the symbolic "Queen" of the Luau.

Pacific University began hosting an annual Lu'au in 1961. Student members of Na Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club) organized and performed in the event, raising money for scholarships. The Lu'au included a dinner, sales of leis and other products flown in from Hawai'i, and performances of Pacific island dances. The Lu'au is normally held on the second Saturday in April in Washburne Hall. The name of the event was changed to Lu'au and Ho'ike in 2019.
