                 Administration require a computer programming course in
                 the curriculum. The course usually taken is Computer
                 Science 403, a FORTRAN programming course especially
                 designed for business students. In recent years student
                 complaints about CS 403 have been heard. Similarly,
                 computer science faculty have had complaints about the
                 students. There has been a problem. Research was begun
                 to determine some of the dimensions of the problem.
                 This investigation explored the attitudes of the
                 students toward computers. By measuring attitudes it
                 was expected that some explanation of the student
                 unrest would materialize. Other possible contributing
                 courses such as the FORTRAN language (rather than
                 COBOL) and the level of student ability have been or
                 will be separately studied. Some of the possible causes
                 for the problem which were considered at the beginning
                 of the investigation were: This was just one evidence
                 of a general public distaste with computer technology.
                 The course had a bad reputation which was communicated
                 to students before they enrolled in CS 403. The course
                 itself created negative attitudes. The instructor
                 created negative attitudes. An information systems
                 course created more positive attitudes.",
