Minutes before the clock struck midnight, candidates for next year’s Concordia Student Union chanted and screamed for their respective parties. The annual Concordia stampede, where candidates run through the two campuses plastering the walls with campaign posters, ran without a hitch. This is thanks mostly in part to a change in rules.

This year, Chief Election Officer Oliver Cohen announced that candidates would be released floor by floor for the first few levels of the Hall building. Then, they would have the chance to put up posters on several billboards-on-wheels that would be placed throughout the campus.

The first day of meetings with NHL General Managers focused on the issue of head shots in hockey.

The commissioner of the NHL has proposed a five-point plan to deal with the rise in concussions. One change is to modify the concussion protocol and have doctors look at injured players in a quiet area. GMs will also be looking at what makes a hit legal or illegal.

The league is under pressure after Canadians forward Max Pacioretty received a concussion in a game against Boston last week.

Concordia Student Union executives are trying move past the resignation of Morgan Pudwell. After last week’s failed council meeting, a special council meeting will be held this Wednesday. However, the unchangeable agenda will involve no discussion of the resignation.
