Title

Karl Malden and others at the 1967 Luau

Description

The actor Karl Malden and several other guests at the annual Lu'au at Pacific University. They are standing by the north windows of Washburne Hall, with Clark Hall in the background. Malden served as a visiting professor at Pacific University in 1966-67. Note: The original slide is stamped with the processing date "Mar 1970," but because Lu'au always occurred in April, this was likely a reprint of an earlier negative from April 1967.

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.
