As an enterprising college student, you recognized a problem as soon as you arrived on campus. Dorm rooms filled with pricey digital equipment were attractive to thieves. Some students move in with more than $3000 in gear, including laptop computers, digital cameras, MP3 players, PDAs, and DVD players. You solved the problem by buying an extra-large steel footlocker to lock away your valuables. But shipping the footlocker was expensive (nearly $100), and you had to wait for it to arrive from a catalogue company. Your idea is to propose to the Student

Organization that it allow you to offer these steel footlockers to students at a reduced price and with campus delivery. Your footlocker, which you found by searching the Web, is extremely durable and works great as a coffee table, night stand, or card table. It comes with a smooth interior liner and two compartments.
