  abstract =     "This paper discusses the issues surrounding service
                 offerings by Computer Science departments and focuses
                 specifically on the first programming course. The
                 approach described by the author has been developed to
                 serve business students who seek an introduction to
                 programming, but it applies also to most non-majors.
                 The popularity of computer applications in the various
                 disciplines as well as the widely publicized vocational
                 opportunities in data processing induce ever more
                 students to try their hand at programming. The
                 embarrassment of riches in enrollment, however, brings
                 with it multiple problems of staffing, machine
                 resources, and curricular balance. Less obviously it
                 also brings the pressure for instant success in serving
                 this new population and thereby avoiding the
                 splintering of programming education among interested
                 disciplines, as happened with statistics instruction.
                 Various viewpoints on solutions to these problems have
                 been published, but little understanding of the nature
                 and goals of the students involved has been evidenced.
                 What follows is an explanation of a student-oriented
                 approach to service course instruction which has been
                 instituted at the University of Evansville (Mitchell
                 78).",
