Show Tuesday, February 17, 1987 Page Eight GPL S vr Students say leave good and bad IT -- Legislation that Congress will consider would require employers to give up to four and a half months of leave to new mothers andor fathers. Do you support this job-guarant- eed kind of legislation? Why? "I support it. In the first few months of a child's life, the bonding process is very important,' said Andy Wallace, communication senior. "A reasonable cost to employers and employees would be fine," he said. Tony Bchcshti, philosophy junior, "I don't know why it would be said, important for a man to be at home after the birth of a child. But I would agree with the policy for women." Bcheshti said, "It's a big decision to have children and both usually have to work. With a birth, one would have to lose their job. Guaranteed leave would relieve some tension and provide additional security." John Inman, film studies senior, said he supports such legislation because of his mother's experience. "When she had my sister, she was actually fired. She had a really tough time finding another job," he said, noting that she was unemployed for two years. Karla Bernhardt, economics Ph.D. candidate, said, "Yes. Because a society ought to be responsive to family needs. If a society doesn't, then the family will fall apart," she said, pointing out the phenomenon of the Reagan administration. "They say they support the family, but what are they actually talk-is-che- ap doing for the family?" Bernhardt said. Lois Ellis, business senior and major, said no to family leave. "I don't think that length of time is necessary. Maybe four to six weeks." Ellis said, for example, that at the hospital where she worked, nurses asked for three months of maternity leave. "It's pre-nursi- ng company." Chris Birkhead, political science freshman, said he is undecided. "I don't think it's fair to penalize someone for having a family. On the other hand, hiring and training temporaries is costly. So I can see both sides." Mary Jemming, psychology junior, supports the legislation. "It might stop a hell of a lot of divorces. That's the roughest time of all in a marriage with the first child. Cause neither one of you know what you're doing. I be with their child. Especially if the woman has a higher-payin- g job," she said. Dee L.

I guess it's OK if they hire temporaries, but if they're out of an employee for four and a half months, it puts a burden on the experience as the mother of six," she said. Jemming noted that men should have an opportunity to be involved in the parenting process. "He's not going to get up in the night for the baby if he has to be at work in the morning," she said. Jim Sorenson, economics sophomore, said he wouldn't support paternity leave. "I don't know why fathers would take it off. For one, how would they support their family? And if they want to get closer to their family, they can do that after work. But maternity leave is important. Mothers need time to recover," he said. A woman who didn't want her name used supports the legislation.
