It is shown that opposite-sign dilepton events from Z decay represent an excellent signal for supersymmetry if mW̃<MZ/2 in certain kinematic domains where the standard-model background from Z→τ+τ- is absent. Excess of monoleptonic events from W→W̃γ̃ consistent with UA1 cuts is also computed. Comparison with existing data is made.
