Title

Eating at the Luau

Description

Pacific University students and/or relatives eating at the university's annual Lu'au circa 1969-1970. This photograph was probably taken in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) of Washburne Hall.

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.
