I'm trying to use fancy header and \maketitle concurrently. This causes a problem because apparently \maketitle calls \plainstyle, which overrides the fancyhdr settings. Is there a simple patch for this? In the following MWE, commenting and un-commenting line 34 totally changes the layout of the document. I want to preserve all the document characteristics with \maketitle commented out, with just the addition of the title section about the text columns. Any help?
