6.      It must be understood at Operation Snowball that your personal use (i.e., war stories,     bragging, etc.) is not appropriate.  Snowball is an alcohol, tobacco, and drug prevention program to help students make healthy choices.

    If you are 21 years old, we know you are legally able to drink.  However, if you

   are under 21 you should not be drinking.  Our program is based on making good

    choices.  If you are drinking or using drugs in any way that would discredit Operation

    Snowball, please reconsider applying to Operation Snowball.

   With that in mind, do you use?  How much and how often do you use?

7.      Responsibilities include:  Being in charge of cabins (this means staying with the cabin the whole night), working on a large group presentation, helping with registration, mini-workshops, check-out and running free time activities.  We are really interested to hear your expectations or suggestions about support staff.  Anything you would want to change?

8.      Are you currently experiencing any personal issues that might impair your ability to fulfill the responsibilities of an effective sport staffer?

9.      How will Snowball benefit from you being on Support Staff?

Support Staff will be chosen by May 16^th.  You will be notified via mail/e-mail.  The following will be considered in selection:  experience/balance between new and experienced support staff, availability and leadership skills.
