("The General As sembly of this State shall not en act local or special laws concern ing any of the following subjects or for any of the following pur poses, to wit: "IX. In all other cases, where a general law can be made appli cable, no special law shall be en acted.")

USC has sought to acquire the land owned by Mehlman Company in order to construct a new men's dormitory. Construction has al ready begun on another residence hall to adjoin the one planned for the corner location.
