1. Jurg Nievergelt, 1969-1970 (issues 1-6). Issue 1 was dated April 1969 and was entitled "SICACT News" since we were a Special Interest Committee at that time. The Editor was Jurg Nievergelt of the University of Illinois. The issue includes a review of the Minsky-Papert Perceptron book by him, as well as a description of "Automata Theory at Illinois." There is also a Chairman's column from Pat Fischer and a report on SWAT 1968 by Raymond Yeh. Issue 4 announced that conversion to SIGACT (a promotion from Committee to Group) has been approved. Issue 5 or 6 (?) was the first to be called SIGACT News.
2. Larry Reeker, 1970-1978 (issues 7-38). Larry (Ohio State) took over with Issue 7 (September 1970) The first 10 issues had white plain paper covers.

Larry continued as Editor through Issue 38 (Vol 10:1, Spring 1978). Larry took the job traveling with him, however, moving to University of Oregon for issue 20 (5:3, July 1973), and to the University of Arizona for issue 28 (7:3, Summer 1975).
