Tyler Hansbrough Defeats Jesus in UNC's Student Body Elections

Posted Feb 15, 2007

Two unlikely candidates were lost in the excitement of Tuesday's campus elections - Jesus H. Christ and Tyler Hansbrough. And if it's any indication of the popularity of men's basketball on campus, UNC's basketball savior defeated Jesus handily, 15 votes to two. While student body president hopefuls got the most votes, 10 basketball players received write-ins. (Daily Tar Heel)
