Six things to consider when adopting a dog in college Elizabeth Biernacki @EBiernacki_619

Curling up next to a big ball of fur is always something I’ve looked forward to with my dog at home, which is why I have been highly considering adopting a dog in college. However, with adopting comes a boatload of responsibility and considering all of the possibilities can be quite overwhelming. Size really does matter: Think about the resources to take care of large, fluffy dogs. Dogs come in large and small breeds. As a rule of thumb, the bigger the animal, the more expensive it will be. Not only is food more expensive each month, but so are vet bills and supplies like flea and tick preventative. Many apartments or landlords tend to have a size limit for dogs. This can and will limit the options you have when moving off campus. Large dogs require much more space including the space for their supplies and toys, while smaller dogs don’t need quite as much. So many breeds: There are so many different breeds out there, how do you know which to choose from? Things to consider would be energy level, size, shedding amount and predisposed diseases or physical ailments. Dogs which are viewed as “dangerous” will limit places you can live, even if they are within size regulations. Some of these breeds include pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman pinschers, German shepherds and chow chows. Adopt or shop: We’ve all seen those adorable purebred corgi puppies and had our hearts absolutely melt, right? If you decide to adopt or shop, think about the difference in expenses with both of the options. In general, adopting from shelters is much cheaper than buying from a breeder. Shelters

tend to have a flat adoption fee averaging between $100 and $300. While that does seem like a lot, the fee usually includes spay or neuter, vaccinations and preventatives.Often times breeders will be much more expensive, especially if you’re buying a dog in high demand, hypoallergenic or rare. For example, Labrador Retrievers, some of the most popular dogs out there, can be upwards of $800 to $1200. This upfront cost doesn’t even include spay or neuter, vaccinations and preventatives. Puppy or adult: Puppies are just so adorable. They’re little balls of fluff and goodness, until they chew up your favorite shoes. While both puppies and adults require training, puppies require a lot of extra maintenance. This can include frequent potty breaks every two hours, feeding up to four times a day, specialized puppy food, lots of obedience training, housebreaking and socialization. Puppies will also not have many vaccinations, since they are too young to receive them. So any vaccines they don’t have you’ll have to pay for when the time comes, which is just another expense. Adult dogs, especially if adopting from a shelter, will most likely be up to date with vaccinations and may even have some training such as being housebroken. While they will still need obedience training, they require far less of a schedule than a small puppy would. So, an adult or a puppy is good, but puppies require much more time and energy. If you think you have the time to commit to raising a puppy, then go for it! Just know what you’re getting yourself into! Travelling: Travelling becomes much more difficult with a dog. Say so long to the days of just booking a trip

and leaving the next morning, because now there’s the issue of where your dog will go. Often times your options will cost money and if you’re not willing to dish it out then your travel plans have just been canceled. You could always take your pet with you. But if your family is like mine, they may not want the extra friend in the house. Besides, is it really fair to make your dog sit in a car or airplane for hours on end? Dog sitters can be quite expensive depending on who you go to. If you don’t know the person, you may not trust them to look after your pet. There’s always friends, but will they be willing to watch your pet the whole time you’re away for winter break? Chances are four weeks is pushing it and you might have to dish out some money anyway to make it worthwhile. Then there are doggy hotels and kennels, but those are also extremely expensive and if you’re travelling during a busy time, then you might have to book a spot for your dog months in advance. Your bank account: On average, the first year owning a dog will cost an owner around $1,300, quite a bit of money to dish out for a college student. Recurring expenses will include food, annual medical exams, toys and treats, a dog license and more. Don’t forget unexpected injuries or illnesses. The $1,300 price right there is only if you have absolutely no hitches along the way. If you want a dog, not only do you have to know you can afford the annual care, but also have extra cash lying around just in case your furry friend needs a life-saving surgery.

How much has Gus Bode paid for his 63 years of tuition? Erin Denae Douglas @erindouglas_de

Bulletin reports, Gus Bode’s total tuition for his 63 years of schooling is approximately $223,036.53. Interestingly, 59% of that sum was from the past 10 years. Despite the horrendous debt, Bode plans on continuing his education indefinitely in order to become the smartest man on earth.

Every Daily Egyptian employee’s best friend Gus Bode has been attending SIU for longer than most of us have been alive. So the question is, how much has he spent on tuition? When asked this question, Bode responded “no comment.” It’s no secret tuition prices have increased over the years, Ad Production Manager but by how much? Erin Douglas can be reached When Gus first showed up at edouglas@dailyegyptian. at the doorstep of the DE back com or on Twitter at in 1956, tuition was just $60 a @erindouglas_DE. semester. Over the next 20 years that price doubled, coming in at about $115.50. The price stayed under $1,000 until 1991 when it increased from $951.70 to $1,172. Whether it was inflation, corporate greed or schools scrambling for cash in the decline of Illinois’ economy, prices continued to go up. By the year 2000, the once outrageous price from the previous decade Gus says-quadrupled to $4,111.

Lorenz: Better than butter, Mayo belongs on grilled cheese Jacob Lorenz | @jlorenz6

What I am about to tell you may shock you — I eat my grilled cheese with mayonnaise instead of butter. I know what you’re thinking, I was clearly raised in a parallel dimension where the world never developed butter. “Hellmann’s Mayonnaise” is a suitable alternative to butter It's clearly the better option. Throughout my childhood and into my college career, I never thought to use butter when making grilled cheese. It wasn’t until I started living with other people that I found out I’m actually in the minority. One of my roommates gasped when he saw me spreading mayo on my bread and plopping it into a skillet. I never knew any different; that’s the way my mother made them, that’s how her father made them and they tasted good. I had no reason to question the method. I was just as surprised to learn my roommates only made their sandwiches with butter. Long story short, we’re no longer roommates. They graduated. If you’re not grossed out yet, hear me out. It’s actually great. If you’re used to butter it may take some getting used to the taste and texture difference, but trust me, it’s worth it. If you already use mayo on your grilled cheese you can back me up, right? “Hellmann’s” even

ran a campaign ad promoting the use of their mayonnaise on grilled cheese. It’s at least worth a shot. The differences aren’t lifechanging, but they are noticeable. Of course, the most significant difference is the taste. Grilled cheese with mayo has

this creamy, almost tangy, taste to it as it melts in your mouth. While grilled cheese with butter still melts in your mouth, it doesn’t have the same array of favors. The texture of grilled cheese is also different. Grilled cheese with mayo is less greasy than with

butter. A sandwich made with mayo will brown and crisp better. Mayo on grilled cheese is lighter, in weight and in taste. Grilled cheese with butter is richer while having a denser texture to it. It does seem strange to be using mayonnaise in a hot dish.

I don’t do very much cooking, besides what an average college student does. Nonetheless, mayo is an excellent alternative to using butter. Staff reporter Jacob Lorenz can be reached at jlorenz@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter at @jtlorenz6.

Bug-out bags and what to pack when the world ends Kallie Cox | @KallieECox

Zombies, climate change, nuclear war, electromagnetic pulses, hurricanes, meteors and aliens: there are countless ways the world could end at any moment. When a cataclysmic emergency situation happens, you are going to be faced with a choice: do you stay where you are or leave and seek shelter elsewhere? “Bugging-out” is leaving most of your earthly belongings behind where they could be stolen, looted or destroyed. However, in order to survive you cannot leave everything behind, so what do you take with you? The first things you need to take into consideration when packing a bug-out bag are your basic needs. You will need to focus on food, water, shelter, tools and safety. The next thing to consider is the bag you will be using, your size as an individual and how to pack the bag in order to allow you to walk for long periods of time in the event you can no longer use your vehicle. Even if you are in the best of shape, your bag should not weigh more than 1/3rd of your body weight. If you are in poor physical condition, it will have to weigh even less. One way to be able to carry more is to have a fitting bag and to pack it properly in order to better distribute the weight. A tiny book bag you take to classes is not going to work. It might be okay for everyday carry or a 24 hour pack, but not for a long trek. Go to your local sports store

or camping store and get a bag that has easily accessible pockets, water resistance and a hip belt. This will allow for better distribution. Make sure you can clip the bag to your body so if someone tries to loot you and rip it off your body, they have to fight you for it. Measure your torso and hips then use the sizing chart below to determine the right pack for your body type. Remember there are no bad bodies just bad bags. When you pack the bag ensure any items you will need to grab quickly are on your person, on your belt or in your pockets. Place all light gear in the front pocket of your bag and at the top. Place medium weights at the bottom of your pack and the heaviest gear should go in the middle. Your sleeping mat and bag should be attached to the bottom of your pack in a waterproof bag because of their bulk. Food In every survival movie or show, you’ll see people grabbing cans, throwing them in a bag and running. Do not do this. Canned goods are great because they last a long time, but they will quickly weigh down your bag, so only pack a few. The best foods to stock up on for bugging-out are light to carry, high-calorie and high in protein. “Military Meals Ready to Eat” are the best, and you can find them at Walmart. Calorie-wise, you can turn each one into three meals if you’re desperate. However, these are bulky so if you get your hands on them, only take the highest

calorie items. Make sure what you bring is unlikely to expire anytime soon. Nuts, raisins, granola bars, marshmallow fluff and peanut butter are your new best friends. Stock up on non-perishables. Don’t be the idiot who shows up to Walmart and gets axed over a can of “SpaghettiOs.” Everyone will be looting the stores; the whole thing will probably look like the cornucopia in the Hunger Games or any store on Black Friday, so steer clear and stay safe. Metal canteen cups are relatively lightweight and useful for cooking over a fire, so keep cooking in mind when you pack. Bring a spork. Water If zombies don’t kill you, dysentery will. Even if the water looks clean, it’s probably not. As a rule of thumb, filter it before you sip it. A “LifeStraw” is relatively cheap at $20, light, easy to use and can safely filter 264 gallons of water. It can be worn as a stylish end of the world necklace and uses a hollow fiber membrane to purify the water. To use it, stick it in any water source and just drink. Try to ensure that whatever water filtration system you bring with you is compact, light and easy to use. Do not rely simply on purification tablets or iodine; it is good to have a few tablets or iodine for an emergency, but both run out and you will need a more sustainable way to purify. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, to purify water without another filtration system, you should allow it to

boil for one minute. If you are at altitudes higher than 6,562 feet, do three minutes. Most filters will not remove salt, so don’t drink urine. Always have a back-up container for your water. I carry a lightweight clip on the “LifeStraw” water bottle I attach to my bag, I wear a canteen on my belt and I have a “CamelBak” bladder in my BOB. While weight is a factor, you can never be too careful when it comes to water. First Aid Your first aid kit should include any medications you need on a regular basis, disinfectants, pain killer, moleskin and material to cover a wound and to stop bleeding. Pads and tampons are your new best friends. Pads are amazing at stopping bleeding; they can hold more blood than your average bandage, are sticky like a band-aid and are easy to attach. Before tampons were used for menstrual periods they were used by the military to plug up bullet holes. They are good for that, deep stab wounds and bloody noses. They are also compact and easy to carry. Moleskin is vital if your bugout location is a long walk away or you haven’t gotten used to your apocalypse boots yet. It comes in sheets and can be cut to fit any blister or hotspot. Some other useful items to carry are: Some other useful items to carry are: 1. Menstrual cup- a reusable method of dealing with periods in a sanitary fashion 2. Two dozen bandages of various sizes 3. Curved needle and thread

4. Tourniquet 5. Tweezers and nail clippers 6. Exacto knife (scalpel) 7. Moleskin 8. Rubber gloves 9. A lighter 10. Burn cream Clothing It’s the end of the world and the laundromat is closed. Be prepared to not change your clothes for weeks. Keep in mind, seasons change, so pack accordingly. It would really suck to die of hypothermia or heat stroke instead of something cool like a shark or an alien. Make sure to have a poncho, 3-4 pairs of socks (preferably thermal ones), long underwear and a warm undershirt, a winter coat, pants made of a durable fabric with lots of pockets and a warm hat. In addition to the clothes you bug out in, be sure to have at least one change of clothes in your pack. However, do not go overboard. Nothing can take up a lot of space and you need to be able to deal with wearing the same clothes until they rot off your body. Other necessary items For shelter, pack trash bags, paracord, at least a dozen zip ties, sleeping bag, a compact mat and duct tape. For carrying duct tape, wrap several yards around a pencil to save space. For fire starting A refillable “Zippo” that will still spark when out of fluid, a small mirror, flint, dryer lint and “Vaseline,” which can double as “ChapStick” or burn cream.
