Members of the UK faculty and

staff are eligible for Social Security
coverage and benefits according to
word received Monday from the
Federal Security Administration in
Washington, by Dean Elvis J. Stahr,
of the Law College, from R. Campbell Van Sant. counsel to the Kentucky Department of Economic Security.
"We thought we had been under
Social Security all the time." Dean
Stahr said, "but when the question
came up a few months ago, it was
referred to Washington for final
settlement."
"There is really no change," he
continued, "except that all questions
have been removed."
(
Last July the Federal Security
Commissioner had tentatively ruled
that UK staff, members mere no
elicible for Social Security in spite
of the fact that the attorney-generof Kentucky ruled in 1951 that the

not a retirement system.
President Herman L. Donovan
said last summer that originally,
the federal agency took the position that the state's attorney general's ruling should govern and the
Social Security tax should be withheld for all employees. The ruling
was complied with, and the tax was
withheld for all employees from Jan.
1. 1951. to July 1. 1952.
After Dr. Donovan met with various state officials last summer, it
was decided to appeal the case to
Washington for a final ruling and
to continue to withhold the tax until that time.
A hearing on the appeal was held
in Lexington last month, and the
decision this week came as a result
of that hearing. Dean Stahr empha-
