Night sky report from the Astronomy Club
Tonight, you will have a chance to catch Comet Lulin if you did not see it last week near Leo. The comet ought to be just southeast of the Beehive cluster of galaxies in the constellation Cancer. HBring binoculars or a telescope, however, as Lulin's magnitude is a low 6.8 this week.

Former mayor collapses in Philipps
An elderly man was taken to the hospital during the Center for Constructive Alternatives lecture yesterday evening.
Associate Professor of Biology Dan York, who accompanied the man to the hospital, identified him as a former Hillsdale mayor, about 80 years old. He said the man probably had a stroke.
York said a CCA guest was an emergency room nurse, and she took charge until the ambulance came.
The man seemed well by the time paramedics arrived and began taking vitals, but he was taken to the hospital, probably to assuage his wife's fears, York said. In the hospital, the man was coherent and seemed embarrassed, York said.
York said he was impressed with how the situation was handled.
"I feel more comfortable now knowing the system works," York said. "I am very proud of how the situation was handled."
The Hillsdale Community Health Center refused comment.

MARINE?RECRUITER?TO?VISIT
Marine Corps Captain Elliot Peterson, selection officer of southeast Michigan, will visit campus next Tuesday at 9 p.m. to host an open recruiting event at Kappa Kappa Gamma for all female students.
"Realistically the Marine Corps would prefer to have more females," Peterson said. "We're always interested in finding highly qualified female applicants."
He will also discuss ways students can become involved in supporting the Marines and how female Marines have made a large impact in the United States' success in Iraq.
The Marine Corps has never yet received female students from Hillsdale for its officer programs.

Corrections:?
In its Feb. 26 issue, The Collegian printed "Science Olympiad comes to Hillsdale," in which it incorrectly stated that chemistry department professors, faculty and students assisted during the event. In reality, a host of volunteers from all sciences participated.
