Be in the know on current events The results of Monday's Purple Poll proved to be very dis- couraging to some. One hundred students were asked, "Do you think President Clinton should send troops to East Timor?" Fourteen said, "Yes;" 36 said, "No;" and an alarm- ing 50 said, "Huh?" Perhaps these students — who were quizzed as they ate in The Main or as they were on the way there — were thinking more about their empty stomachs than what was going on around the globe. Fair enough. But then again, maybe they need to open up a newspaper more often. In an attempt to help educate readers on current events, we're running a short quiz to test your knowledge.
