PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 5.  Other Information

         Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountants

         The Company has dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP (Andersen) as its
         principal independent accountant and has engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP
         to serve as its independent accountant, both on February 2, 1995.
         Andersen's reports on the Company's financial statements for the past
         two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
         opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
         scope, or accounting principles.  The decision to change accountants
         was approved by the Company's Audit Committee.  During the Company's
         two most recent fiscal years, and for the period ended February 2,
         1995, there were no disagreements with Andersen on any matter of
         accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
         auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to
         the satisfaction of Andersen, would have caused Andersen to make
         reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their report.
