  We present ultraviolet photometry for a sample of morphologically early-type
galaxies selected by matching the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 with
the GALEX Medium and All-sky Imaging Surveys. We obtain a working sample of
1032 early-type galaxies with GALEX FUV detections, SDSS spectroscopy, and
$z<0.2$. Using the SDSS spectra to identify galaxies with even weak star
formation or evidence of AGN, and further removing galaxies with any evidence
of non early-type morphology, we derive a final sample of 172 red quiescent
early-type galaxies. We find that the $FUV-r$ color has a full range of 5 mag.
Plotting against the $FUV-r$ color the metallicity sensitive Lick $\rm Mg_2$
and D4000 indices, and the stellar velocity dispersion, we find no correlation
between our measurement of UV rising flux, and any parameter sensitive to
metallicity.
