Article "RC Senator Impeached"

This article is about the first and only black Richmond College Senator at that point, Stanley Davis, who was impeached in 1973 by a 7-1 vote. Davis was impeached for not being able to attend three consecutive meetings of the senate that year. Also, he had missed five meetings from his previous term. Initially when the meeting was supposed vote, the senators decided to exclude the media and the Collegian reporter was asked to leave. However, thirty five minutes later the reporter was invited back in. The meeting time of the senate clashed with the job schedule of Davis which led to him missing the meetings. There was some support for keeping Davis but at the end of it all the vote for impeachment went through and Davis was no longer on the senate.
