Oh Ayn Rand, philosophical genius with a multitude of zealous followers. And “Atlas Shrugged,” your ultimate masterpiece, which I am certain you spent most of your life constructing. People either love it or hate it, but I decided that I would live through it and see for myself.

Dissent: it’s a theme I’ve covered in this column all semester. I’ve discussed it in the context of hipster history (hipstory, I suppose) — bandanas, skinny jeans, flannel — they’ve all at some point been donned as signs of solidarity, as separation from and statement against the mainstream.
Gender-neutral housing for the fall at AU will include coed rooms in the university-rented Berkshire Apartments, according to Housing and Dining Assistant Director of Operations Jennifer Alvarez.
