        This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D is filed jointly by LaSalle
   Financial Partners, Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), Richard J.
   Nelson, Peter T. Kross, and Wallace D. Riley (the "Group"), and relates to
   the common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Standard
   Financial, Inc. (the "Issuer").  The Partnership was formerly known as
   LaSalle/Kross Financial Partners, Limited Partnership; its name was
   changed effective June 20, 1997.  This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule
   13D initially filed on October 15, 1996, as amended thereafter (the
   "Schedule 13D").  The following items in the Schedule 13D are amended to
   read in their entirety as follows:

   Item 2.   Identity and Background

        (a)-(c)  The Partnership is a Delaware limited partnership.  The
   address of the Partnership's principal business and its principal office
   is 350 East Michigan, Suite 500, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49007.  The principal
   business of the Partnership is that of investing in equity-oriented
   securities issued by publicly traded companies, with emphasis on
   investments in banks, thrifts and savings banks.

        The general partners of the Partnership (the "General Partners") are
   LaSalle Capital Management, Inc., a Michigan corporation owned by Richard
   J. Nelson and his wife, Florence Nelson, and Talman Financial, Inc., a
   Michigan corporation owned by Peter T. Kross.  Talman Financial, Inc. was
   formerly known as Kross Financial, Inc.; its name was changed effective
   June 6, 1997.  The executive officers and directors of LaSalle Capital
   Management, Inc., are Mr. Nelson, who serves as President and a director,
   and his wife Florence Nelson, who serves as Secretary, Treasurer and a
   director.  Mr. Nelson is self-employed as a banking consultant, and his
   business address is 350 East Michigan, Suite 500, Kalamazoo, Michigan
   49007.  Mrs. Nelson is a homemaker and is not otherwise employed.  Mr.
   Kross is the sole director and the sole executive officer of Talman
   Financial, Inc.  Mr. Kross is employed as a securities broker and is
   employed as a Senior Vice President of EVEREN Securities, Inc.  Mr.
   Kross's residence address is 248 Grosse Pointe Boulevard, Grosse Pointe
   Farms, Michigan 48236.

        Wallace D. Riley has been a practicing attorney for more than forty
   years and is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Riley & Roumell,
   P.C., a general practice law firm in Detroit, Michigan.  Mr. Riley's
   business address is 720 Ford Building, 7th Floor, Detroit, Michigan 48226.

        (d)-(e)  During the past five years, none of the Partnership, the
   General Partners, Mr. Nelson, Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Kross or Mr. Riley has been
   convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations).

        On December 9, 1996, the Issuer filed a civil lawsuit (case No. 96-C-
   8037) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
   Illinois (the "Court") naming as defendants the Partnership, the General
   Partners, Mr. Kross and Mr. Nelson (collectively, the "defendants").  The
   lawsuit requested injunctive relief and claimed that the defendants had
   made a false and misleading Schedule 13D filing with respect to beneficial
   ownership of the Common Stock.  On February 11, 1997, the Court entered a
   Memorandum Opinion and Order granting in part and denying in part the
   Issuer's request for injunctive relief.  On March 19, 1997, the Court
   modified that order.  The Court ordered, among other things, that (1) the
   defendants amend their Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer to reflect
   their "purpose to acquire control over and influence the policies of
   Standard by electing the Partnership's own nominees to Standard's board of
   directors"; (2) "Defendants are temporarily enjoined from purchasing or
   selling any shares, in their individual capacities or on behalf of the
   Section 13(d) group, but not in a licensed or registered capacity, or
   otherwise seeking control of Standard until seven days after they have
   filed [an] amended Schedule 13D" in compliance with the Court's order; and
   (3) "Defendants are temporarily enjoined from violating Section 13(d) and
   ordered to amend Schedule 13D with regard to Standard from time to time as
   necessary to comply with federal law."  Thereafter, the defendants
   promptly complied with the Court's order and filed an amended Schedule
   13D.

        During the past five years, neither Mrs. Nelson nor Mr. Riley has
   been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
   competent jurisdiction resulting in such person being 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.

        (f)  Mr. Nelson, Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Kross, and Mr. Riley are citizens
   of the United States.

   Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

        The Issuer and TCF Financial Corporation entered into an Agreement
   and Plan of Reorganization, dated March 16, 1997, providing for the
   combination of the Issuer and TCF Financial Corporation.  Based on that
   development, the Group made a determination to reduce the Group's holdings
   to less than 5% of the Common Stock.  Although the Group intends to
   continue to evaluate the Issuer and its business prospects, at present the
   Group has no specific plans or proposals that relate to, or could result
   in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j),
   inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Group may make further
   purchases of shares of the Common Stock or may dispose of any or all of
   its remaining shares of the Common Stock at any time.  The Group intends
   to continue to explore the options available to it.  The Group may, at any
   time or from time to time, review or reconsider its position with respect
   to the Issuer and may formulate plans with respect to matters referred to
   in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

   Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

        (a)  By virtue of their separate ownership and control over the
   general partners of the Partnership, Mr. Nelson and Mr. Kross are each
   deemed to beneficially own all of the 605,000 shares of the Common Stock
   that the Partnership owns, constituting approximately 3.7% of the issued
   and outstanding shares of the Common Stock, based on the number of shares
   reported on the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 1997. 
   Mr. Nelson also beneficially owns an additional 1,207 shares of the Common
   Stock (less than 0.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common
   Stock), which he acquired personally in 1994.  Neither Mr. Kross nor Mr.
   Riley beneficially own any shares of the Common Stock personally or
   otherwise, except (in the case of Mr. Kross) for the shares owned by the
   Partnership itself.

        (b)  With respect to the shares described in (a) above, all decisions
   regarding voting and disposition of the Partnership's shares are made
   jointly by the chief executive officers of the General Partners (i.e.,
   Messrs. Nelson and Kross).  As such, they share voting and investment
   power with respect to those shares.  Mr. Nelson exercises sole voting and
   investment power over his 1,207 shares.

        (c)  The following transactions are the only transactions in the
   Common Stock made by the Partnership in the past 60 days, all of which
   were made in open market sales on the Nasdaq National Market System:

            Date      Number of Shares         Price Per Share
             6/3/97    45,000                   $29.9583

             6/4/97    5,000                    $24.125

             6/18/97   100,000                  $24.9059

             6/19/97   100,000                  $24.9375

             6/23/97   10,000                   $24.9375

        None of Mr. Nelson, Mr. Kross or Mr. Riley have had any transactions
   in the Common Stock for their own accounts during the past 60 days.

        (d)  Not applicable.

        (e)  On June 18, 1997, the Group ceased to beneficially own more than
   five percent of the Common Stock.
