  abstract =     "We describe a first-year course sequence for computer
                 science majors that covers most of the traditional
                 first-year concepts, providing a balance between formal
                 analysis and software synthesis, with examples and
                 assignments in three high-level programming languages:
                 Pascal, Scheme (a lexically scoped dialect of Lisp),
                 and C. We argue that this balanced, tri-lingual
                 approach promotes more effective pedagogy and provides
                 students with a broader foundation than does an
                 all-formal, all-programming, or single-language
                 focus.",
