A total of 48 nights of time series data have been obtained for the K giants: Arcturus, Pollux, and Aldebaran. A careful analysis of both single and multi–night sets using the earth's motion as a velocity calibrator has yielded stellar velocity time series accurate to ± 3 m/s per observation. Periodogram analyses of these sets have revealed the existence of oscillations with periods near 2.5 hrs and amplitudes of ± 5 m/s for both Pollux and Aldebaran, but not for Arcturus. Preliminary analysis of a 5-night set for Pollux using the CLEAN algorithm suggests at least three modes separated by about 35 microHertz.
