Item 4.  CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS.

    On August 30, 1996, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
approved a change in the Company's independent accountants for the fiscal year
ending April 30, 1997, from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG") to Deloitte & Touche
LLP ("Deloitte & Touche").  The report of KPMG for the fiscal years ended April
30, 1995 and April 30, 1996, contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer of
opinion or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended April 30, 1995 and April
30, 1996, and the interim period from May 1, 1996 through August 29, 1996, there
were no disagreements between the Company and KPMG on any accounting principles
or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG would have caused it to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
report.  No event described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K
has occurred within the Company's fiscal years ending April 30, 1995, or April
30, 1996, or the period from May 1, 1996 through August 29, 1996.

    The Company has provided KPMG with a copy of the disclosures contained
herein and will file as an amendment hereto the response of KPMG to the
disclosures set forth herein.

    The Company did not consult with Deloitte & Touche during the fiscal years
ended April 30, 1995 and April 30, 1996, and the period from May 1, 1996 through
August 29, 1996, on any matter which was the subject of any disagreement or any
reportable event or on the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed.

                                      SIGNATURES

    Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
