Title

Tending to the kalua pig roast at the 1978 Luau

Description

Pacific University students and possibly their family members tend the kalua pig roasting pit at the university's annual Lu'au in 1978. The campus football field and Clark Hall appear in the background, along with a line of parked cars.

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.
