  abstract =     "One of the crucial decisions in organizing a first
                 course in computer science is the choice of a
                 programming language. Although there is considerable
                 variance of opinion as to what the ideal language
                 should be, two main approaches can be delineated. The
                 first approach stresses the necessity of learning the
                 dominant scientific language, which in the Americas
                 amounts to a vote for Fortran (2). The practicality of
                 this choice is as indisputable as the awkwardness of
                 the syntax of that language. The alternative view
                 stresses the importance of the program structure in
                 developing a sound sense of ``algorithmic thinking''.
                 Proponents of this view would suggest Algol W (4) or
                 perhaps Pascal (5). We contend that both approaches
                 have important advantages. This paper explores an
                 approach which attempts to maximize the benefits of
                 both.",
