THE : DAILY : COLLEGIAN. - STATE ;COLLEGE, -PENNSYLVANIA ~u y s , M , i ,) Les 0 ies Influence ' Formerly, movie stars "were the only people known to have to pass a screen "test- for success. Now, wife-screening, according to .F.Orturce:ina - g;ailite;ls:-:beeoming a familiar corporation practice. Ordinarily the screening, done to familiarize corporation bigwigs with the influence the wife might have over a piospectiVe employee, is done .via '"informal" social visits If it is impossible to call on the woman in her own home, some corporations invite the wi f e •to come along with her husband for his interview. Since she does not know she is being scrutinized, she does not realiTe that she .is un dergoing quite an interview' when speaking to' any of her husband's prospective employers. In businesses whose present management group has been long entrenched there is often a feeling that an unwise choice of a couple may upset the delicate social bal ance achieved over the years. Amusing as this attitude may seem, it has been found that many men are passed. up for jobs be cause of the poor impressions their wives made on the company, the article states. Some executives; skeptical of' the value of this subjective pro cess of screening, supplement it with more objective investiga tions; for example, checks on credit ratings and on the popu larity of the woman in the com munity. The effect of this surveillance on the husband's career is sub stantial. Typical examples of faults found in wives are "she ha's absolutely no sense of 'public relations," or that she is "negative pany." Divorce r arely disqualifies a in her attitude toward the com mon; in fact, one company . has a Boss Wary policy of sending executives on extended trips if they need sepa ration from nagging or retrograde wives. Most executives consider t h e screening process, important to them as it is, a negative measure: The positive factor, they believe, is, to sell the wife •on the • corpor ation's point of view. This is done through such mediums as bro chures, films, and .booklets on the industry. .„ Other than selling wives on the company, there is a stand to be taken •on socializing among. com pany wives. Some companies pre fer them to be as. close as pos sible, while others say the' less seen of the women the better. Conflicting Opinions In _t h e International Business Machines Corp. the wives are "all part of the business" and the peo ple, in employment are referred to as the "1.8. M. family," according to Fortune. But an oil company executive says,. regarding t h e wife, "We are just as happy if we never see her at all." And so it goes. Some companies consider the wife-screening busi ness a• form of slavery, while others think It thickens - the life blood of the business. • - A look at this article would be a little disconcerting to the fian cee about to marry a would-be executive.
