Preparing for the 1968 Luau with a budget on a chalkboard

Description

Students and/or volunteers from Pacific University's Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club), backstage at the university's annual Lu'au in 1968. Club members organized and performed in the Lu'au. The chalkboard behind them tracks expenses for the event, including costs for transportation, publicity, concessions, food, costumes, and so on.

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.
