Wow, running a Lanugage Learning Center does seem to make one a "Jack of all trades" deosn't it?

One of our professors here has decided that she's unhappy with the quality of the videos that her students are producing in  our Video Studia and wants to upgrade the lighting and sound.

Given my limited budget (I'm hoping to get it all in for under $300.00) I've settled on the Smith-Victor KT900 light kit ($225 at B&H photo) which should allow for basic 3-point lighting (Key, Fill, Background).

Now I'm looking at my sound options. Anyone got any suggestions for external micing solutions (for a DV camera with a standard 1/8" audio input) that would be relatively inexpensive and versatile?
