Title

Fred Scheller and "Doug" at the Luau

Description

A Pacific University student (possibly named Doug, per a note written on the slide) and Professor Fred Scheller, both wearing leis. The two men are talking on the patio of the Washburne Center during Pacific University's annual Lu'au circa 1969-1970. Scheller was one of the founding organizers of the annual Lu'au.

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.
