  We present a moderate resolution (~1.15 Angstroms/pixel) survey of 79 quasars
obtained using the Kast spectrograph on the Shane 3m telescope at Lick
observatory. The spectra span the wavelength range of 3175-5880 Angstroms, and
have typical signal to noise of 6-20 in the regions of the spectra showing
Lyman alpha forest absorption. The quasars have a mean emission redshift of
z=2.17, and nearly all cover the entire Lyman alpha forest between Lyman alpha
and Lyman beta. Although the quasars were selected to avoid BAL, two quasars in
the survey are BAL, one of which is a new discovery. We list the HI and metal
ions observed in a total of 140 absorption systems. We also identify 526
emission lines, and list their observed wavelengths, along with new redshifts
of the quasars. We determine the rest wavelengths of 3 emission lines or line
blends in the forest to be 1070.95 +/- 1.00, 1123.13 +/- 0.51, and 1175.88 +/-
0.30 Angstroms.
