CS COLLOQUIUM:  Niklaus Wirth will be giving the
opening colloquium of this quarter on Tuesday (Oct. 4),
at 4:15 in Terman Auditorium.  His talk is titled
"Reminiscences and Reflections".  Although there is
no official abstract, in discussing this talk with him
I learned that Reminiscences refer to his days here at
Stanford one generation ago, and Reflections are on
the current state of both software and hardware, including
his views on what's particularly good and bad in the
current research in each area.  I am looking forward to
this talk, and invite all members of our department,
and all interested colleagues, to attend.

Professor Wirth's talk will be preceded by refreshments
served in the 3rd floor lounge (in Margaret Jacks Hall)
at 3:45.  Those wishing to schedule an appointment with
Professor Wirth should contact ELYSE@SCORE.
