Description

Attendees getting Hawaiian food from the buffet line at Pacific University's annual Lu'au in 1968. The man in the front of the line has a name tag identifying him as Gordon Bolton. Haumana O Hawaii (Hawaiian Club) members are serving the food.

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.
