Chairman Mao To Talk
On 'Icky Tricky Dicky'

By LEONID BREZHNEV

Chairman Mao Tse-tung,
the man who, according to
himself, "looms larger than life
everywhere," will speak on
"Icky Tricky Dicky" Tuesday
in Newcomb Hall's Red
Meeting Room at 7:24 a.m.,
co-sponsored by the Student
Legal Forum and the John
Birch Society.

'I Came Back'

The event marks Mr. Mao's
first public appearance in two
months, finally scotching
rumors that he was dead,
disabled or the victim of a
palace coup.

President Chuck Robb said,
"Mr. Mao is no ordinary

adversary. Therefore, we're
saving the best for last."

"Mr. Mao contacted me as
soon as he received notice that
Vice President Agnew will be
speaking here. In his
soft-spoken, subtle way he
demanded equal time," Mr.
Robb said. "Besides," Mr.
Robb added, "my wife wanted
to meet him."

In a letter to Mr. Robb, Mr.
Mao expressed his warm
feelings toward Charlottesville,
the University community and
especially Mr. Jefferson.

Comparing Mr. Jefferson to
himself, Mr. Mao said, "His
long record as a revolutionary
leader is clear. He was a hard
bargainer, with a history of
getting more than he gave."

Mr. Mao and Premier Chou
En-lai, at a press conference
shortly before Mr. Mao's
disappearance, commented on
President Nixon's policies in
relation to China, especially his
Vietnam war policies.

Agent Dick

"Nixon is the best agent for
Mao. The more he bombs
Cambodia the more Communists
he makes," Mr. Chou said.

He expressed his "deepest
sympathy" at the University's
"lost sense of community."

"With the help of my
closest and dearest friends at
the University – Elmer
Shannon, Bob Candleberry,
and Herman Graebner – I can
reunite your University," he
said.

Mr. Mao's visit coincides
with the University's first
annual "Eleanor Shannon
Irrational" ping-pong
tournament to be held in the
Cocke Hall basement
immediately following Mr.
Mao's speech.
