EQUIPMENT CHECKOUT
Equipment can be checked out from "The Cage" which is just down the hall from the undergrad office. Adrian runs The Cage, and is very helpful - be nice to him!
You will need a $25 deposit and your student ID to check out equipment.
The borrowing period is for two days: Mon-Tues, Wed-Thurs, Fri-Sun
BE SURE be sure to check the camera you are given to make sure it has batteries and a charger. Also be sure to ask for a firewire cable, since you will not be given one automatically.
