Fox (PSU) report on behalf of a larger\ncollaboration:\n\n\"Starting on 2008 March 30.35 UT we used the Marcario LRS spectrograph\non the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (R ~ 230 ) to obtain 2 x 1000s spectra\nof the optical afterglow (Mao et al., GCN 7537) of GRB 080330. The\nspectrum covers the wavelength range 4100 to 10,500 Angstrom. We\nobserve multiple metal absorption features including the MgII doublet\n(2796, 2803 A) and MgI (2852 A), FeII (2586, 2600 A), ZnII (2026 A)\nand NiII (1741,1751 A) at redshift z = 1.51.  Our observations are\nconsistent with the redshift and features reported by Malesani et\nal. (GCN 7544).\"",
