Sincerely, Marice Bezdek, Ph.D English/Communications Department (This time, please print the capital C) Editors' note:

As quoted in every issue of Loquitur, pg. 2, "If a letter is too long for the available space, the editor may edit or condense it." The editors deemed it necessary to shorten all letters in the previous issue.due to space constraints. The letter above, however, has not been altered.

Also, pg. 5 of "The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel .Manual" states, under the title of academic d_epartments, "Use lowercase except for words that are proper nouns or adjectives: the department of history, the history department, the department of English, the English department." Therefore, "English/communications department" is correct AP style.
