The results of a new, extensive abundance survey of the elements Na, Mg, Al, Si, and K in halo and disk dwarfs and giants is reported. Abundances for metal-poor field giants agree with those derived for field dwarfs. Observed alpha elements are overabundant with respect to iron in halo stars by 0.4 + or - 0.1 dex for Si, 0.3 + or - 0.1 dex for Mg, 0.2 + or - 0.1 dex for Ca, and 0.2 + or - 0.1 dex for Ti. Na and Al are underabundant in halo stars with respect to alpha elements by about 0.5 + or - 0.1 and 0.3 + or - 0.1 dex, respectively. Na and Al abundances are correlated; Ni is slightly underabundant in halo stars.
