Title

Meal at Pacific University

Description

People who appear to be the relatives of Pacific University students, sitting down at a meal in Washburn Hall circa 1972-1973. This photograph may have been taken at a breakfast on Parents' Weekend, based on other images that were found with the original slide.

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.
