Kalua pig roast at the 1971 Luau

Description

Pacific University students tending the fire pit for a kalua pig roast before the university's annual Lu'au in 1971. Clark Hall appears in the background. The original slide is labelled "1971 Kalua pig."

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.
