To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the entities or 
persons identified in this Item 2 has, during the past five years, been 
convicted of any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar 
misdemeanors), nor been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or 
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such 
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining 
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, 
federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such 
laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
- ----------------------------------------------------------

Not applicable.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction
- -------------------------------

The Reporting Persons have sold some of their Common Stock holdings and may 
sell additional holdings in the future.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
- ---------------------------------------------

(a),(b) According to the Issuer's most recent Form 10-K, there were 23,391,400 
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of February 28, 1997.  Based 
on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in 
Item 5(c) below, the following Reporting Persons report the following direct 
holdings and corresponding percentage interests in the Common Stock:

Shares of Common         Percentage
Name                     Stock Owned          Owned
- -------------------   -------------------   -----------

BK IV                      49,500               0.2%                       
Stinson                    40,800               0.2%
Carpenters Trust          651,500               2.8%
ICSOPP                     69,900               0.3%
                          -------               ----
Total                     811,700               3.5%
                          =======               ====

In addition, because RCBA L.P. has voting and investment power with respect to 
66,800 shares that are legally owned by The Common Fund for the account of its 
Equity Fund, those shares are reported as beneficially owned by RCBA L.P.  The 
Common Fund is principally engaged in the business of managing investments for 
educational institutions.  The principal administrative office of The Common
Fund is located at 450 Post Road East, Westport, Connecticut 06881-0909.  The 
Common Fund disclaims membership in a group with any of the Reporting Persons, 
and disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares held by the Reporting 
Persons.

CUSIP NO. 252165-10-5            SCHEDULE 13D                   Page 13 of 16

Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by 
RCBA L.P.  The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a 
group, in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to have beneficial 
ownership of an aggregate of 878,500 shares of the Common Stock, which is 3.8% 
of the outstanding Common Stock.  As the sole general partner of RCBA L.P., 
RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which RCBA 
L.P. has voting and investment power.  As Chairman, director and a substantial 
shareholder of RCBA Inc., Richard C. Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial 
owner of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc.  Although Mr. Blum is 
joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this Schedule 
shall not be construed as an admission that he, or any of the other 
shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. is, for any 
purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially 
owned by RCBA Inc.

(c)  During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons sold the following shares 
of Common Stock (on April 21, shares were sold to the Issuer; all other sales 
were effected in the open market):
