Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
   
          Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is revised
   and amended and restated in its entirety as
   set forth below:
   
          (a)  After giving effect to the
   transactions described in Item 5(c) below,
   FUCP no longer is the beneficial owner of any
   shares of Common Stock.  
   
          By virtue of the relationship between
   FUCP and FUNB described in Item 2, FUNB is no
   longer the indirect beneficial owner of any
   shares of Common Stock.  
   
          By virtue of the relationship between
   FUCP and FUNB described in Item 2, FTU is no
   longer the indirect beneficial owner of any
   shares of Common Stock.

          Keystone Investment Management Company
   ("Keystone"), an investment advisor for
   mutual funds and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
   FTU, has sole voting and dispositive power
   over 60,400 shares of Common Stock,
   representing approximately 0.7% of the Company's
   Common Stock.  However, FTU disclaims beneficial
   ownership with respect to such shares. 

          The percentages calculated in this
   Item 5 are based upon 9,070,854 shares of
   Common Stock outstanding as of February 20,
   1998 (as reported in the Company's Annual
   Report on Form 10-K for the  fiscal year
   ended November 30, 1997).

          However, subsidiaries of FTU continue
   to act as custodian for four accounts
   which hold an aggregate of 17,650 shares of
   the Company's Common Stock, or approximately
   0.2% of the aggregate outstanding shares. 
   The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial
   ownership with respect to such shares.
   
          (b)  Neither  FUCP, FUNB nor FTU has the
   power to vote or direct the vote or the power
   to dispose of or direct the disposition of
   any shares of Common Stock.
   

          By virtue of the relationship between
   FTU and Keystone described in this Item 5,
   FTU has the power to vote or direct the vote
   and the power to dispose of or direct the
   disposition of the 60,400 shares of Common
   Stock controlled by Keystone.

          (c)  Other than as described below,
   none of the Reporting Persons, nor to the
   best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any
   of the executive officers or directors of any
   of the Reporting Persons, has effected any
   transaction in shares of Common Stock during
   the past 60 days.
   
          On February 18, 1998, FUCP contributed
   all 570,282 shares of Common Stock owned by
   it to FUNB, to hold as trustee for the
   account of First Union Foundation ("FUF"), a
   charitable foundation controlled by FTU.
   
          On February 26, 1998, FUNB sold, as
   trustee for the account of FUF, 150,000
   shares of Common Stock in an open market
   transaction  at a price per share of $19.12.

          On February 27, 1998, FUNB sold, as
   trustee for the account of FUF, 420,282
   shares of Common Stock in an open market
   transaction at a price per share of $19.00. 
   
          FUNB paid normal and customary
   brokerage commissions in connection with each
   of the transactions described above.
   
          After giving effect to the
   transactions described in this Item 5(c), the
   beneficial ownership of the securities of the
   Company by the Reporting Persons is as set
   forth in Item 5(a) above.
   
          (d)  Not applicable.
   
          (e)  The Reporting Persons ceased to
   be the beneficial owner of more than five
   percent of the outstanding Common Stock of
   the Company on February 27, 1998.
