We report on simultaneous UV, optical, and near-IR observations of four BL Lac objects. For three objects (PKS 0118-27, PKS 0301-24, and PKS 1538 + 14), we find that the spectral flux distribution from 8 x 10 exp 13 to 2.5 x 10 exp 15 Hz is well described by a single power law with spectral index alpha(nu) = 1.2, alpha(nu) = 1.0, and alpha(nu) = 1.3, respectively. For H0323 + 02, after subtraction of the contribution due to the host galaxy, the spectral emission is again consistent with a single, flatter power law, alpha(nu) = 0.78.
