We have used NIRSPEC on Keck II to obtain $K$-band spectroscopy of severalmagnetic cataclysmic variables. These data reveal that the secondary stars inthese binary systems have spectra that are consistent with normal, late-typedwarfs in both their atomic and molecular line strengths, as well as in theslopes of their continuua. This result is in stark contrast to the infraredspectra of their non-magnetic cousins, nearly all of which show peculiarabundances, especially of CNO species and their isotopes. It appears that theevolutionary path taken by the secondary stars in magnetic systems differs fromthat for the non-magnetic systems. We discuss the implications of this result.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figure

Why Are the Secondary Stars in Polars So Normal?
