Item 4         Ownership (at December 31, 1993):

                    (a)  By reason of advisory and other relationships with
                         the persons who own the Shares, Harris may be
                         deemed to be the beneficial owner of the following
                         Shares:

                         709,236 shares

                                       -4-

                    (b)  Percent of class:
                         (based on 9,407,994 shares outstanding)

                         7.54%

                    (c)  Number of shares as to which such person has:

                        (i)      sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 
                                 none

                        (ii)     shared power to vote or to direct the
                                 vote:  none

                        (iii)    sole power to dispose or to direct the
                                 disposition of:  490,536

                        (iv)     shared power to dispose or to direct the
                                 disposition of:  218,700

                   Harris generally does not vote any of the foregoing
                   Shares, except in cases where it serves as the general
                   partner of certain limited partnerships that may own the
                   Shares.  However, Harris has been granted the power to
                   do so in circumstances it determines to be appropriate
                   in connection with assisting its clients to whom it
                   renders financial advice in the ordinary course of its
                   business, by either providing information or advice to
                   the persons having such power, or by exercising the
                   power to vote when it determines such action appropriate
                   in connection with matters which are submitted to a
                   security holder's vote.

                   In addition, Harris serves as investment adviser to The
                   Oakmark Fund ("Oakmark Fund"), a series of the Harris
                   Associates Investment Trust (the "Trust"), and various
                   of Harris' officers and directors are also officers and
                   trustees of the Trust.  Harris does not consider that
                   Oakmark Fund is controlled by such persons. 
                   Nonetheless, 204,400 Shares are beneficially owned by
                   Oakmark Fund, with respect to which Oakmark Fund has
                   sole voting power, are included as Shares over which
                   Harris has shared dispositive power, and thus as Shares
                   beneficially owned by Harris, because of Harris' power
                   to manage Oakmark Fund's investment.  In addition, other
                   Harris customers may own Shares which are not included
                   in the aggregate number of Shares reported herein
                   because Harris is not deemed the beneficial owner (as
                   defined in Rule 13d-3) of such Shares.


Item 5        Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:

                   Not Applicable




                                       -5-

Item 6        Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another
              Person:
                         
                   With regard to the Shares reported herein which were
                   acquired by Harris as agent for its investment advisory
                   clients over whose accounts Harris may hold 
                   discretionary authority, the beneficial owners or legal
                   owners (such as trustees or general partners in
                   partnerships) of such accounts have the right to receive
                   or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from,
                   the sale of the Shares.  None of these beneficial or
                   legal owners holds such rights or powers relating to 
                   more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Shares.

                   knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above
                   were acquired in the ordinary course of business and
                   were not acquired for the purpose of and do not have the
                   effect of changing or influencing the control of the
                   issuer of such securities and were not acquired in
                   connection with or as a participant in any transaction 
                   having such purpose or effect.
