Attendees at the 1968 Luau

Description

Attendees near the dinner tables at Pacific University's annual Lu'au in 1968. Those pictured here may be parents of students who put on the Lu'au, possibly assisting with getting the tables set before the audience arrives.

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.
