  abstract =     "The object oriented paradigm is sweeping the world of
                 computer science and many educators advocate an object
                 oriented programming language for CS1. At our school a
                 large proportion of our student body consists of
                 non-traditional students who are either starting
                 college later, changing fields, or brushing up on their
                 skills. We wanted to determine if older,
                 non-traditional students were interested in OOP, and if
                 interested, could they adequately compete with the
                 younger students. We instituted a pilot program to
                 teach C++ in a traditional academic style and collected
                 data for a year for this study. We show that our older
                 students in every age bracket did as well as, and in
                 most cases much better than, those students in the 25
                 and under group. Based on the data collected, we feel
                 the pilot program was a complete success.",
