History
Founded in 2006, "The Brown Noser" is the university's second oldest humor publication (behind The Brown Jug, founded in 1920).[1] When the Brown Noser’s founders first applied to the Board of the Undergraduate Council of Students to request a financial endowment for publishing, they were denied funding. The founders then stormed the Undergraduate Council of Students meetings covered in body paint until they received funding sufficient to print the Noser five times a semester.[2] The first article was "Brown Noser to Replace Daily Herald as Campus's Premier Comedy Newspaper", a joke on the Brown University's oldest publication, The Brown Daily Herald.[3]
Issues
The Brown Noser publishes five times per year and unloads hundreds of copies within hours of its release by stationing members at frequented campus intersections.[2]
