Queen's guard
resigns after
sex seandal
From AP and UPI
LONDON- The British government
announced yesterday that Queen
Elizabeth's chief bodyguard had con-
fessed to a homosexual relationship
with a.male prostitute and resigned his
post.
Only a few hours before the announ-
cement of the royal scandal the gover-
nment also announced the Buckingham
Palace intruder Michael Fagan would
not be prosecuted for sneaking into
Queen Elizabeth II's bedroom.
Government prosecutor Stephen
Wooler announced three other charges
against Fagan, but said there was "no
evidence" to support criminal charges
against the 31-year-old for the biggest
breach of palace security in modern
history.
WITHIN HOURS of the hearing, the
new facet of the scandal emerged when
it was announced in Parliament that
the queen's personal bodyguard, Police
Commander Michael Trestrail, had
resigned after acknowledging an
ongoing homosexual relationship with a
male prostitute. The break-in and
reports of police blundering prompted a
Scotland Yard inquiry into palace
security.
Explaining the decision not to
prosecute Fagan for invading the
queen's bedroom July 9, Wooler said:
"The director (of public prosecutions)
has considered the evidence and takes
the view that there is no evidence of any
state of mind of this defendant which
would render his trespass a criminal of-
fense, and he proposes to bring no
charge."
Trespassing is a civil, not criminal,
offense in Britain. Fagan was charged
with breaking into the palace June 7
and stealing a half-bottle of wine. He
also was charged with stealing a car
June 16 and assaulting his 15-year-old
stepson June 26.
BOW STREET Magistrates Court or-
dered Fagan held for trial and bail was
denied.
In a courtroom appearance, Fagan,
shoeless in the dock, yelled at his
lawyer and claimed to be the son of
Nazi war criminal Rudolf Hess. Hess
has been imprisoned since 1941.
Fagan lashed out at his lawyer,
Maurice Nadeem, when the attorney
said the charges under consideration
were unrelated "to the later incident
when my client was in the queen's
bedroom."
"I TOLD YOU not to mention
anything about the queen's bedroom."
Fagan shouted. "I don't want her
brought into it. I would rather plead
guilty than have her name mentioned in
court."

The weather
On the bright side, thunderstorms will end today. On the not so bright side,
temperatures will stay in the muggy 80s.Q
F. T. food
F ICTIONAL ALIEN E.T.'s craving for earthly candy has created a
real life appetite for Reese's Pieces and sweet sales figures for Hershey
Foods Corp. The company is cashing in on the brief role its peanut flavored
candy played in the hit movie "E.T." To lure E.T. out of hiding, a young boy
leaves a trail of the bite-sized candy, which the creature eagerly eats. If
audiences didn't notice what caught E.T's attention, they are being remin-
ded in Hershey's $1 million promotional campaign proclaming Reese's
Pieces as "E.T.'s favorite candy." Q
Pasta persuasion
" D ASTA IS NOT fattening. It's chic." That's the theme at the National
I Pasta Association's 78th annual conventional under way at Colorado
Springs. The pasta people hope Americans will eat their way up from a
dismal ranking of 14th in per capita pasta consumption at 12.1 pounds per
year. Italy is first, of course, at 55 pounds. "Pasta is not fattening," insisted
/Elinor Ehrman, senior vice president of the public relations firm that han-
dles the national pasta account. "You can eat it every day." Q

CCEW program review:
No budgetary review needed
(ContinuedfronPage 1)
established the quality of the center and
its performance, and recognized the
continuing needs of women in higher
educaiton.
ALTHOUGH they were only conduc-
ting an evaluation, committee mem-
bers agreed that budget priorities also
had to be considered.
"I assume that had we chosen to, we
could have said CCEW is a strong can-
didate for budgetary review," review
committee member Paul Courant ad-
ded.
"It was a program review," commit-
tee member Dorothy Cameron said,
"but obviously, the committee had in
the back of its mind that the next step is
a budgetary review."
THE REVIEW committee was
charged with determining the extent to
which the center's services are
duplicated by other University units
and whether the University would gain
more if the center were in some part
reorganized or reassigned. The com-
mittee also examined whether the cen-
ter has adapted itself to societal
changes concerning women that have
taken place since its creation in 1964.
In addition to a strong turnout at a
public hearing conducted -by the com-
mittee in May, at which both University
and community members spoke in sup-
port of CCEW, the center received a
great deal of national support.
"I EXPECTED a lot of vocal support
... even so, what I heard was more than
I expected," Courant said. "Their ex-
ternal support," he added, "certainly
mattered a great deal."
"We found the center was performing
adequately in response to the first two
charges," Courant said. "We felt
CCEW's role as an advocate and a cen-
ter would be severely compromised,"
he added, if CCEW was to suffer major
cutbacks.
According to Courant, the committee
decided that little or no money would be
saved if CCEW's programs were
reassigned to other University units.
"THE PROGRAMS are extremely
tightly integrated," he said. "In any
organization, it should be that the whole
is greater than the sum of its parts.
CCE W is just a very good
organization."
Cameron agreed with Courant on the
integration of the center's programs.
"The advocacy, counseling, and
research functions all feed into each
other," she said. "'You can't say the
research should go, because it helps
counseling."
"It's circular. You cannot separate
them," Cameron said. "It would be
foolish to do that."
CCEW is widely recognized for its
services geared towards women
students, especially those whose
education has been interrupted by
family obligations or the need to work.
In addition to its counseling and
scholarship programs, the center has
sponsored a wide variety of internships,
conferences, workshops, and
publications, and has served as an ad-
vocate for non-traditional students.
