  We present Lick Observatory slit spectra of 38 objects which were claimed to
have pronounced ultraviolet excess and emission lines by Zhan \& Chen. Most of
our spectra have FWHM spectral resolutions of about 4~\AA , and relatively high
S/N of about 10 -- 50, although some have FWHM $\simeq 15$~\AA ~or lower S/N.
We find eleven QSOs, four galaxies at $z \simeq 0.1$, twenty-two stars and one
unidentified object with a low S/N spectrum. Six of the QSOs show absorption
systems, including Q0000+027A with a relatively strong associated C~IV
absorption system, and Q0008+008 (V$\simeq 18.9$) with a damped Ly$\alpha $
system with an H~I column density of $10^{21}$ cm$^{-2}$. The stars include a
wide variety of spectral types. There is one new DA4 white dwarf at 170~pc, one
sdB at 14~kpc, and three M stars. The rest are of types F, G and K. We have
measured the equivalent widths of the Ca~II~K line, the G-band and the Balmer
lines in ten stars with the best spectra, and we derive metallicities. Seven of
them are in the range $-2.5 \leq$~[Fe/H]~$\leq -1.7$, while the others are less
metal poor. If the stars are dwarfs, then they are at distances of 1 to 7~kpc,
but if they are giants, typical distances will be about 10~kpc.
