HUERA Urges University Personnel To Bid for Social Security Benefits

The University Employees Representative Association has advised its members to ask for social security for Harvard personnel, H.U.E.R.A. president Daniel G. Mulvihill stated yesterday. The union had delayed taking a stand on the newly available benefits while its legal advisor investigated the question.

Mulvihill said he has passed the word along through the union's branch representatives that the measure is "a good thing" and "to their benefit to sign."

In order for social security--extended last summer to cover non-profit institutions--to become effective here, two thirds of all faculty and service personnel must vote in favor of the plan.

The benefits, which are a sort of insurance pension, do not apply to students employed by the University who are enrolled and regularly attending classes.
