ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. 

      The net investment cost (including commissions, if any) of the 
shares of Common Stock held by Vinik Partners, Vinik Overseas and the 
Discretionary Account is $3,628,010.89, $4,895,229.32 and $277,729.79, 
respectively.
      The shares of Common Stock purchased by Vinik Partners were 
purchased with the investment capital of the entity.  The shares of 
Common Stock purchased on behalf of Vinik Overseas and the Discretionary 
Account were purchased with their investment capital.
      The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Vinik Partners, 
Vinik Overseas and the Discretionary Account are held in margin accounts 
maintained at Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, which accounts may from 
time to time have debit balances.  Since other securities are held in 
such margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if 
any, of margin used with respect to the shares of Common Stock 
purchased.  Currently, the interest rate charged on such various margin 
accounts is approximately 6.0% per annum.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

      The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for 
investment purposes, and the Reporting Persons intend to evaluate the 
performance of such securities as an investment in the ordinary course 
of business.  The Reporting Persons pursue an investment objective that 
seeks capital appreciation.  In pursuing this investment objective, the 
Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and markets 
of companies in which they invest, including the Company, on a 
continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions with 
knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of 
such companies (often at the invitation of management).
      Each Reporting Person will continuously assess the Company's 
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, 
general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those 
for the Company's securities in particular, other developments and other 
investment opportunities.  Depending on such assessments, one or more of 
the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or 
may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its 
holdings of shares of Common Stock.  Such actions will depend upon a 
variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and 
anticipated future trading prices for such Common Stock, the financial 
condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, alternate 
investment opportunities, and general economic, financial market and 
industry conditions.

      None of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which 
relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in 
paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. 

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. 

      (a)   The approximate aggregate percentage of shares of Common 
Stock reported beneficially owned by each person herein is based on 
5,675,786 shares outstanding, which is the total number of shares of 
Common Stock outstanding as of November 5, 1997, as reflected in the 
Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for the fiscal quarter ended 
September 27, 1997 (which is the most recent Form 10-Q on file).

      As of the close of business on March 13, 1998:

            (i)   Vinik Partners owns beneficially 185,500 shares of 
Common Stock, constituting approximately 3.3% of the shares outstanding.
            (ii)  VAM LP owns directly no shares of Common Stock.  By 
reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended (the "Act"), VAM LP may be deemed to own beneficially 
250,300 shares (constituting approximately 4.4% of the shares 
outstanding) held by Vinik Overseas, and 14,200 shares of Common Stock 
(constituting approximately 0.3% of the shares outstanding) held by the 
Discretionary Account, which, when aggregated, total 264,500 shares of 
Common Stock, constituting approximately 4.7% of the shares outstanding.
            (iii)  Messrs. Vinik, Gordon and Hostetter each directly 
owns no shares of Common Stock.  By reason of the provisions of Rule 
13d-3 of the Act, each may be deemed to beneficially own the 185,500 
shares beneficially owned by Vinik Partners, the 250,300 shares 
beneficially owned by Vinik Overseas, and the 14,200 shares beneficially 
owned by the Discretionary Account. Such shares total 450,000 shares of 
Common Stock, constituting approximately 7.9% of the shares outstanding.
            (iv)  VGH owns directly no shares of Common Stock.  By 
reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VGH may be deemed to 
own beneficially the 185,500 shares beneficially owned by Vinik 
Partners, which constitutes approximately 3.3% of the shares 
outstanding.
            (v)  VAM LLC owns directly no shares of Common Stock.  By 
reasons of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VAM LLC may be 
deemed to own the 250,300 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Overseas 
and the 14,200 shares beneficially owned by the Discretionary Account.  
When the shares beneficially owned by Vinik Overseas and the 
Discretionary Account are aggregated they total 264,500 shares of Common 
Stock, constituting approximately 4.7% of the shares outstanding.
            (vi)  In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially 
own a total of 450,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting 
approximately 7.9% of the shares outstanding.

           (b)  Vinik Partners has the power to dispose of and the power 
to vote the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it, which power 
may be exercised by its general partner, VGH.  Each of Vinik Overseas 
and the Discretionary Account is a party to an investment management 
agreement with VAM LP pursuant to which VAM LP has investment authority 
with respect to securities held in such account.  Such authority 
includes the power to dispose of and the power to vote securities held 
in such accounts.  Such power may be exercised by VAM LP's general 
partner, VAM LLC.  Jeffrey N. Vinik, as the senior managing member of 
VGH and VAM LLC, and Messrs. Gordon and Hostetter, as managing members 
thereof, have shared power to dispose of and shared power to vote the 
Common Stock held by other Reporting Persons.
            (c)   The trade dates, number of shares of Common Stock 
purchased or sold and price per share for all transactions in the Common 
Stock from the 60th day prior to March 3, 1998 until March 13, 1998 by 
Vinik Partners and by VAM LP, on behalf of Vinik Overseas and the 
Discretionary Account, are set forth in Schedules A, B and C.  All such 
transactions were open market transactions effected on the over-the-
counter market.
            (d)   No person other than each respective record owner of 
shares of Common Stock referred to herein is known to have the right to 
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the 
proceeds of sale of such shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH 
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. 

      There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or 
relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 
hereof or between such persons and any other person with respect to any 
securities of the Company including but not limited to transfer or 
voting of any other securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or 
option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of 
profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
