Abstract:
   We describe a sample of K giants at the South Galactic Pole, selected to 
   examine the chemical and kinematical properties of stars perpendicular to 
   the galactic plane and to measure the local column density of the disk. We
   report velocities, abundances, absolute magnitudes, and broadband BV 
   photometry for over 500 giants.
