Break f J>ay BY Nate Fakes Pamma THIS IS: YOU Gur.

Dear Mamma Souffle,

I think my roommate might be doing things behind my back. Nasty things, like using my toothbrush. I'm embarrassed to admit my suspi- cions to anyone, but I've got to do something. Every day when I brush my teeth in the morning, I always leave my brush with the bristles pointing towards the mirror. Lately, when I come back from classes I've noticed the brush pointing the wrong way. My roommate is always asleep when I leave the dorm, and he is always gone when I get back. So I have no idea what he does when I'm not there. I don't the know guy very well, and his personal hygiene is sometimes ques- tionable. I'm convinced that he's been using my toothbrush. His never seems to move and it looks brand new! I'm afraid that he night be using other things of mine. How do I find out for sure and how do I get him to stop?

Sincerely, Roommate of the Toothbrush Bandit

Dear Roommate of the Toothbrush Bandit,

My first bit of advice is not to fret. Even ii your roommate is using your toothbrush, it's not really that big of a deal. The human mouth contains hydrochloric acid after all, so I'm sure that you're perfectly safe. If you're still concerned, however, there are many things that you can do to resolve the situation. The first and most obvious situation would be to hide your tooth- brush from him. I would recommend a place he isn't likely to look, like your desk drawer among your pencils and pens; or you could sim- ply carry your toothbrush with you at all times. When you leave for school in the morning, stow it in your bookbag. While you're at it. you can carry a tube of toothpaste as well and brush your teeth in between classes. Of course these measures will only solve your concern for your toothbrush. But there arc many other items in the dorm room that may be at stake. The first area you want to be concerned with are personal under- garments. It is likely that your roommate doesn't want to dirty his own Battery Jump things (which explains the pristine condition of his toothbrush); he would rather dirty yours. Try and note how often—if ever—your roommate does his laundry. It's possible that instead of dirtying his own underwear, he's dirtying yours instead. But never fear. To prevent him from borrowing your underwear and returning it to your drawer, unwashed, simply stop washing your underwear altogether. After awhile, the underwear will be so dirty and smelly that he won't want Air for a flat to wear it in the first place. This will prevent him from borrowing such items in the future. Remember this also can apply to socks, pajamas and t-shirts. To further protect yourself from your roommate's unwanted use of your personal items, keep a close watch on your food and drink items. Eor instance, it's possible that your roommate might drink from your A gallon of < soda when you're not looking. To prevent him from drinking your you run out soda, simply spit into the can as soon as you've opened it. Make sure campus roa< your roommate sees and notices first, however; since it will have little effect if he doesn't know that your saliva is in the drink. Lastly, you can always take the direct approach and ask your roommate if he is guilty of these tilings. Who knows? He might even tell you the truth. But always remember what my oie' (irand Pappy Parking and Transportation at 775-255 Souffle used to say.
