"Fine," I replied. "By then I'll have

Once over lightly:
Tough guy: An 80-year-old man was
knocked down by a car an he crossed
the strvet, but he got up uninjured and
dusted himself off. Damages to the car
were estimated at $30.
Taking no chances: Jone Torres Ber-
nal was released recently from prison
after serving nine months for stealing
his wife's false teeth because she bit
him during thair frequent quarrels. He

But Ronnie Reiser, freshman from Wichita

to give him.
Keiser ha* developed the technique of read-
ing, writing, and talking backwards to a point
where he car. rattle off sentence* as fast a
any person speaking in the normal fashion.
In doing so, Keiner reverses the pronuncia-
tion of the words only, while he reads the sen-
tence in It* normal order.
"t first became interested in talking and
reading backwards while I was in the ninth
grade," the personnel management major
says.

trig m\ nu-h riHtrie Hat kwiird« I became inter-
ested ii learning more about this, so began
to d<> th< names <>f some of my friends. Later
<<n, I liegan to work -n lunger words, and fi-
nal!) liegan practicing on sentences."
It, u!w>ut a month and a half. Keiser could
do sentences of ,nrht six- tn ten-letter words.
"When 1 got my first chance to do this trick
before an audience. I was scared to death," he
admits.
It was on a high school assembly program
I didn't actually mind getting up in front of
the peoplei it was just that 1 thought they
would think I was silly. However, everybody
seemed to enjoy it."
After this first public appearance. Keiser
was called on frequently to show his mastery
of the English language in reverse. Soon, he
had worked up and was presenting several
popular songs in the backward manner.
"I have found only one other person who
could carry on a conversation with me back-
wards," Keiser says another Wichita
hoy, and when we got to jabbering together,
people would look at us and no doubt think
we were crasty "
Keiser never plans to carry his unique tal-
ent to the professional stage "I learned to do
this trick for my own amusement, and nothing
else." he says
Keiser admits that th« trick of talking bach-
ward* is quite simple
"I see the words in their right order in my
mind first; then I visualise them backwards.
Then they just come rolling out."
Some of the shorter words, nuch a* "do,"
"in," "what." "the." and "going," for instance,
present no problem to Keiser Over a long
period of time, he has memoriied these short
words, and so does not have to spend any time
on them when speaking or reading.
"The moat fascinating word backwards is
noisvelet (television)," Keiser says.
There are still two words in particular
which give the student trouble One ia "Mi -
