Welcome.

The Undercurrent is a campus newspaper. It is distributed at college campuses and communities across the country. We aim to release a print edition at least once per semester, and in the interim, we regularly post additional articles, blog entries, and campus media response reports regularly to this website.

The Undercurrent's cultural commentary is based on Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism. Objectivism, which animates Ayn Rand's fiction, is a systematic philosophy of life.

It holds that the universe is orderly and comprehensible, that man survives by reason, that his life and happiness comprise his highest moral purpose, and that he flourishes only in a society that protects his individual rights.
