Title

Buffet line at the Luau

Description

Pacific University students standing in the service line for the buffet at Pacific University's annual Lu'au, circa 1969-1970. A note on the original slide identifies several of the people in the image: Blaine Yata (Class of 1972), Sharon Nonaka (Class of 1974), and Roberta [Klenako?].

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.
