  abstract =     "It is well known that college and university level
                 programs in the computing sciences continue to turn out
                 graduates who are schooled in topics such as compiler
                 writing, automata theory and numerical analysis, while
                 the vast majority of potential employers of these
                 graduates are seeking people knowledgeable in
                 administrative systems and application programming.
                 This point was brought home during a recent visit I
                 made to a graduate course in data structures at a major
                 university. When the instructor asked the more than
                 forty students to list all the programming languages
                 they knew, COBOL went entirely unmentioned. Although
                 COBOL is not an ideal language for instructional
                 purposes, the fact that it is rarely taught in
                 computing science programs is probably due more to the
                 tastes of instructors than to intrinsic weaknesses of
                 COBOL. My remarks here take the position that COBOL can
                 be used quite successfully as a demonstration language
                 to help teach information processing principles and
                 good programming practices, while providing students
                 with a much sought after skill.",
