                      INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

          Item 4.  Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

                    On March 15, 1995, the Board of Directors of
          Registrant approved the engagement of Crowe Chizek and
          Company as independent auditors of the Registrant for the
          fiscal year ending November 30, 1995.  Crowe Chizek and
          Company will succeed KPMG Peat Marwick ("KPMG") as
          auditors of Registrant.

                    KPMG's report on the financial statements of
          Registrant for the two prior fiscal years did not contain
          an adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion, or a
          qualification or modification as to audit scope.  During
          Registrant's last two fiscal years and during the period
          from November 30, 1994 through March 15, 1995, (the
          "Accounting Period"), there have been no disagreements
          between the Registrant and KPMG on any matter of
          accounting principles or practices, financial statement
          disclosures or auditing scope or procedure which, if they
          were not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have
          caused KPMG to make reference to the matter in their
          report, and there have been no "reportable events" during
          such periods as such term is defined in Item 304(a) of
          Regulation S-K.

                    During the Accounting Period, neither the
          Registrant nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted
          Crowe Chizek and Company regarding either (i) the
          application of accounting principles to any transaction or
          the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
          Registrant's financial statements; or (ii) any matter that
          was either the subject of a disagreement on an accounting
          matter or an event specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
          Regulation S-K.

                    Registrant has furnished KPMG with a copy of
          this report and has requested KPMG to furnish the
          Registrant with a letter addressed to the Commission
          stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the
          Registrant in this report and, if not, stating the
          respects in which it does not agree.  The Registrant will
          file a copy of such letter as an exhibit to this report by
          amendment promptly after it is received.
