BV photometry at six observatories in 1988/1989 and 1989/1990 shows variability resulting from five starspots which lived 1 or 2 months each, had rotation periods in the range P between 10.0d and 12.3d, and had amplitudes in the range 0.01 m - 0.03 m. From the range in P it was possible to estimate k greater than 0.20 +/- 0.05 for the differential rotation coefficient. Ca II K-line photometry, polarimetry, and earlier photometry reported in the literature has also shown variability with periodicities in the same 10 d -12 d range.
