Unfortunately, the technology involved for analyz) ing Halley is not quite as sophisticated as what NASA could have devised. ror mose 01 us restictea soiey to ground-based observations, what can we expect to see during Halley's closest approach? Until recently, fears had been aroused as to Halley's potential prominence as it nears Earth. Although it is unfortunately true that the comet and Earth will ^ be on opposite sides of the Sun W during perihelion, all is not lost. Aside from the fact that this near passage by the Sun is the time when the comet would be brightest, another type of close Fight _ Continued from pa The fight began to spill over into the Pi Kappa Psi area, and a Pi Kappa Psi fraternity member, Cliff Rollins, said he tried to stop ^ the conflict, which now had gotten out of hand. "Everyone got pretty excited and got out of control. I just didn't want to sec any fighting," said Rollins, a criminal justice senior. Rollins said he went up to who he suspected was the group's ringleader and tried to persuade him to stop the fight before anyone was severely hurt. ^ VHe started dancing around ^ ... and pointing .hist finger^ini myi face," Rollins said. iFRRBramw SIGH-DP STA1 TODAY!

Halley will make its closest ap>roach to the Earth on April 11, 1986 at which time it will lie only 19,000,000 miles distant. This vill be the overall best time to observe it, but observers residing n the Northern Hemisphere may lot have the best seat to watch he show. But nature, in its infinite wisdom, will see to it that no one is left out. As the comet journeys aiuug in us uiuu, lib iremenuuusly long tail will slowly alter direction with respect to the comet's position near the Sun. This is caused by the immense force of the solar wind which continuously pumps a large supply of charged particles into space. The comet itself will gradually move above the solar orbital plane, positioning itself rather well for viewers in the Northern Hemisphere. As chance would have it the Moon will be near full phase at this time. But the wonders of celestial mechanics will provide a rare spectacle that will serve to make certain that Halley is in good company. On the night of April 24th, the Moon will be totally eclipsed by the Earth's shadow. This will place an effective dampener on the enormous skyglow normally produced by it. i-. n, u.:.r :?,1 in ciidi, iui a unci ptuuu, Hallcy will dominate the heavens as it blazes across the night sky, its tail fanning out behind it. g? 1 The group reportedly encircled Rollins, and the person holding the exercise bar reportedly took a flying leap and hit Rollins in the head. Rollins buckled under the bar's impact and later went to the Baptist Hospital Emergency Room, where he received six stitches. Pi Kappa Psi fraternity member Dan Furlong said he also tried to stop the fight. Furlong said he was talking to one of the people in the group when the barwielding person hit Furlong across the face.
