Title

Students eating dinner

Description

Pacific University students eating dinner during an event on campus. Two of the students are dressed in "Gay Nineties" costumes, possibly indicating that this photograph was taken during the annual Gay Nineties festival that took place in Forest Grove in Spring. Alternatively, the dinner may have taken place during Homecoming weekend in 1970, when the Freshman class hosted a dinner with entertainment.

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.
