TORONTO (CP) — Col
leagues do it. Counterparts
do it. Even Prime Minister
Brian Mulroney does it.

They pick up the phone,
drop a line, maybe share a
drink at a convention — all to
keep the channels of com-
munication open, just in case
a need arises.

The practice is called net
working, developing casual
and often confidential rela
tionships to exchange infor.
mation and advice from time
to time.

Its crities frequently call it
the old boy's club. That's be-
cause social experts have
shown that, in its most
powerful form, networking is
a mainly male — and white
male — practice that seeks to
entrench the status quo.

As Jeffrey Reitz sees it,
the near impenetrability of
the club may be one of the
biggest obstacles to advance-
ment in business for women
and minority groups. Reitz, a
professor at the University of
Toronto's Centre for Indus-
trial Relations, has studied
hiring practices of compan.
ies.

“The higher you go in
management, the more ill-
defined and diffuse are the
qualities you're looking for in
someone” to hire, he says.
“You have to have someone
you can trust — someone like
yourself.”

Reitz has found that many
managers rely on personal
contacts, not on the labor
market, to fill key posts.
Many don't even advertise

Women and ethnic groups
often establish their own
networks, but Reitz calls
them “inherently limiting”
because they don't break the
old boy's network.

The federal government
has introduced legislation
that would force Crown cor-
porations and industries it
regulates to develop pro
grams that lead to fair hiring
of women, the disabled, na
tives and visible minorities.

Companies would have to
report to the government on
their plans, starting in June
1988. The legislation has
been studied by a Commons
committee, and is awaiting
third and final reading in the
House.

HAMILTON (CP) — Helen
Turpin uses a euphemism for
her business: “Leased ele-
gance.” What it comes down
to is a rent-a-dress.

Turpin, who admits her
fashion trade experience is
nil, is offering women an op-
portunity to dress to the
nines for an affordable price
— between $30 to $75 will get
them a designer gown for the
night.

“I used myself as an ex
ample,” says Turpin, a 44-
year-old mother of three.
“Several times a year I need
a dress — a special dress —
but I just can't afford to buy
a new one each time, so |
make do with what I have.”

She has sbout 30 outfits in
a variety of sizes. She dry
cleans them after they are
used.
