With Maria Pounders as an advisor, an elected group of students represented Blair as the Student Advisory Committee QSACJ which carried out the specifications of ESAA. The SAC served as a vehicle to help communication between students, assessed their needs and wrote plans suggesting ways of promoting changes on campus. The emphasis was on activities which would facilitate multi-racial interaction. The representatives were Ula Taylor, John Kennedy, Karen Coyle, Miriam Rusch, Becky Bhang, Valerie Henry, and Karen Yenoki.
