I must disagree.  Uhura *did* beam down using the Enterprise's transporter
in "Plato's Stepchildren" although it wasn't of her own volition.  Take a
look at the special effects when they beam down.  Carmen (sp?) used his
telekinetic powers to move her and Nurse Chapel to the transporter room
and beam them down.
