The Schedule 13D filed April 5, 1995, by Steven A. Cohen ("Mr.
Cohen"), with respect to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per
share (the "Shares") of Sandy Corporation, a Michigan corporation
(the "Company"), and amended April 11, 1995, by Mr. Cohen and
S.A.C. Capital Management, L.P. ("Capital Management") is hereby
amended by Capital Management, Mr. Cohen and S.A.C. Investments,
L.P. ("Investments," and together with Capital Management and Mr.
Cohen, the "Reporting Persons") as set forth below.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Capital Management and Investments are each a Delaware limited
partnership engaged, directly and indirectly, in the active trading
of securities and, to a lesser extent, in the trading of commodity
interests. S.A.C. Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company ("SAC"), is the general partner of each of
Capital Management and Investments. SAC's members are Mr. Cohen
and S.A.C. Capital Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SAC
Inc") who were the former general partners of Capital Management.
SAC Inc's sole shareholder, director and President is Mr. Cohen.
Scott J. Lederman, Barry M. Skalka and Terence E. Fox are each
Executive Vice Presidents of SAC Inc. The business offices of the
Reporting Persons, SAC Inc, SAC, Mr. Lederman, Mr. Skalka and Mr.
Fox are located at 520 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, New
York 10022.
None of the Reporting Persons, SAC, SAC Inc., Mr. Lederman, Mr.
Skalka, or Mr. Fox have, during the last five years, been convicted
in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) nor have any of them been a party to any civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction which resulted in or subjected any of them 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.
Mr. Cohen, Mr. Lederman, Mr. Skalka, and Mr. Fox are citizens of
the United States of America.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The aggregate amount of funds (including commissions) required by
Mr. Cohen to purchase the Shares owned directly by him was
$1,166,157.11. All funds used by Mr. Cohen to purchase the Shares
were derived from Mr. Cohen's personal funds. The aggregate amount
of funds (including commissions) required to purchase the Shares
directly owned by Capital Management was $699,420.84. All funds
used by Capital Management to purchase the Shares were derived from
working capital. Capital Management transferred a portion of the
Shares to Investments effective January 1, 1996 in a transaction
that did not result in a change in the indirect beneficial
ownership of the Shares by Capital Management. The funds used by
the Reporting Persons may include margin debt incurred from time to
time in the ordinary course of business pursuant to customary
margin agreements with Spear, Leeds & Kellogg.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Persons each acquired their respective Shares for the
purpose of investment because each believed the Shares represented
a favorable investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons are each
evaluating, and will continue to evaluate, the investment potential
of the Shares. The factors considered by the Reporting Persons
have included, and will continue to include, each Reporting
Person's assessment of the Company's business prospects and
financial condition, other developments concerning the Company, the
price of the Shares, opportunities to acquire or dispose of Shares
or realize trading profits in the open market, through privately
negotiated transactions with third parties or otherwise, conditions
in the securities markets and general economic and industry
conditions and investment opportunities and developments relating
to each Reporting Person.
Except as set forth above, as of the date of this Schedule, the
Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to or
would relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in
parts (a) through (j) of Item 4.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) - (b) The aggregate number and percentage of Shares to which
this 13D relates is 226,400 Shares representing 9.73% of the
2,326,783 Shares reported by the Company as outstanding as of
November 27, 1995. The Reporting Persons directly own those Shares
as follows:

Capital Management 40,242 1.73%
Investments 30,358 1.30%

of the Shares he owns directly. As the Managing Member of SAC, Mr.
Cohen through SAC, shares with Capital Management and Investments
the power to vote and dispose of all Shares directly owned by
Capital Management and Investments. As a result, Mr. Cohen is
deemed to be a beneficial owner of the Shares owned by Capital

not beneficially own any Shares other than in their capacities as
officers of SAC Inc.
