Cries telling Bagley to "get out" of the United States if he didn't want to support it came from some onlookers. "The youth of Russia, China, and the United States are questioning the morality of those in authority," Bagley shot back. Acting Union director di-rector Julian Davis escorted the graduate student away, inquiring if he had any violence in mind.
