Student eating dinner

Title

Student eating dinner

Description

A Pacific University student, probably a member of Haumana O Hawaii (Hawaiian Club), eating dinner during an event on campus. This dinner may have taken place during Homecoming weekend in 1970, when the Freshman class hosted a dinner with entertainment; or at another event connected to Haumana O Hawaii.

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.
