[Finding Other Objectivists On Campus]

I know there are plenty of people in this forum who attend college. I was recently accepted for the fall semester at Indiana University Southeast in New Albany, Indiana, a medium sized branch college of Indiana University. The college currently has no Objectivism club but I would love to use the experience of college to meet other like minded people who love Ayn Rand.

My question is when you went to college, how did you find other Objectivists who attended your campus? How can I network and meet other Objectivists and possibly start an Objectivism club? Any help or suggestions would be useful.

How I'm doing it right now? www.thefacebook.com great way to connect to people. I started a university objectivists group on there, and invited people from my school who listed the fountainhead or atlas shrugged as one of their favorite books, and then I sent them messages if they were interested in starting an objectivist club. So far I've got 3 other people interested, and this summer, we plan!

["Atlas Shrugged" Movie]

Well I would consider it, but I wouldn't go with the idea. 

You should be confused. This is my own personal opinion. I would love to see Anthem real time. AS just seems more like a very long animated movie to me then Anthem. Yes, philosophically, the AS would be more effective in Real time. But I thinking of mere aesthetic use.

I think Anthem would work as a CGI film though.

Ohhhh, what about a Pixar Production of Anthem? !

[Ayn Rand's Economic Boycott]

But sometimes economic sanctions strengthen the grip of a totalitarian regime over its people. It appears that Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute recognizes this danger.  In a recent speech at Georgia Tech, Dr. Brook

Is it moral though to deal with these places that don't recognize basic individual rights?

I understand that in China it has helped towards a march towards freedom, but will that march stop? It appears as though it won't, and eventually, the people of that country will not allow it.

Does the idea that by trading with this countries we are propping up the government have any merit? I'm especially talking about places where there is a monopoly in the Mises sense: a government has complete control over a natural resource. Is it moral to deal with the Oil governments? What about De Beers(obviously not a country, and note: I don't know this situation as well, I've only really heard the liberal media view)?
