at Springfield * As always, I want to close by thanking my Dean, as well as my Department Chair, at the University of Illinois at Springfield for making it possible for me to devote more attention to this Newsletter than I would have been able to do otherwise. Let me end with a special note. Now when the APA site is relatively in order 2 I would want to guide the Readers towards this Newsletter's history. The older issues, I think especially those edited by Jon Dorbolo, 3 will remain an excellent source of information about the history of philosophy and computing and are still very much worth browsing through. Endnotes 1. I want to thank T. Beavers for his impromptu invitation during my visit there.
The APA: An Administrative Conference Perspective
Virginia Law Review, 1986
UNE 11, 1986 marks the fortieth anniversary of the passage of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).' After four decades of extensive experience with the APA, this symposium issue of the Virginia Law Review offers an opportunity to step back and examine the Act in a broader legal and political perspective. As Chairman of the Administrative Conference of the United States, I welcome this symposium and the opportunity to make these comments. Congress established the Administrative Conference as a permanent body to "study the efficiency, adequacy, and fairness of the administrative procedure used by administrative agencies in carrying out administrative programs, and make recommendations to administrative agencies, collectively or individually, and to the President, Congress, or the Judicial Conference of the United States, in connection therewith." ' 2 The Conference is, in effect, the administering agency of the APA and the only government agency with a primary and continuing interest in administrative procedure throughout the federal government.' Pursuant to its legislative mandate, the Conference has, over the past eighteen years, continually reviewed agency experience under the APA and formulated proposals for improvement of the administrative process. The Conference has adopted over one hundred recommendations since
DivisioNews (Winter 2003, Issue #11)
2003
Letter from the Editor I hope this installment of the DivisioNews finds you well. The 2002 ASC Annual Meeting in Chicago was a wonderful opportunity to meet so many of you face-to-face and reconnect with friends and colleagues. Often I find that ASC, with all the commotion of panel presentations and business meetings, is a hurried rush with little opportunity for reflection or meaningful connection with others. The DWC meetings and social gatherings, however, were the exception. I recall walking out of the DWC breakfast Friday morning of the conference with a colleague, feeling rejuvenated and so thankful for the amazing support, dialogue, and activism within the Division. It was simply wonderful. Joanne Belknap deserves special recognition and thanks for her tireless work and leading our brood at 0-dark hundred (or as Joanne notes, the "ungoddessly hour") for the breakfasts. Thanks to all who volunteered to assist with the DWC events and tables. I also wanted to extend appreciation to those of you who participated in the Networking Survey listed in the last issue of the newsletter.
Headings The APA style recommends up to five levels of headings; however, the five levels are used only in reports that contain a great amount of content and detail. Please Note that for headings at Level 3-5, the first letter of the first word in the heading is uppercase, and the remaining words are lowercase (except for proper noun and first word to follow a colon:). The following table shows format of heading with an example of how to put headings in the thesis/paper.
