...that had appeared in the Tucson Daily Citizen criticizing the poet for his self-proclaimed sexual aberrations. When Thomas finally walked away, the guru followed and shouted a string of obscenities at him. Mother, whose day is celebrated this week, seemed to have a prominent place in the epithets. Whereupon Thomas wheeled and clouted Ginsberg twice on his shrub-bordered mouth. "Ah, those were only words I was speaking!" cried Ginsberg. Replied Thomas in a hard, code-of-the-West drawl: "They may have been only words to you, Mr. Ginsberg, but out here they are fighting words...

Whereupon Bloomfield, apparently worried about how long his building will be apprehended, begins to explain all the work he and his people are doing to fix things up. Someone interrupts with the cry, "What about Jelpy?" (alluding to a popular lecturer who didn't get tenure). Then another person, nearer to Bloomfield, tells him that reform is no substitute for abolition. At this point the group started walking in circles, an action which resulted in their looping out of the front door of the building...
