Suprem In Caro The State Supreme Court in a unanimous deeision handed down early this week opened the way for the University to acquire the' Mehlman store property at Main and Blossom Streets and thus speed completion of a men's resi dence hall project. The high court heard the case on an appeal by the University. presented through the Attorney General's office, from a Richland county circuit court ruling that the public works eminent domain law under which the University sought to condemn and acquire the Mehlman property was uncon stitutional. The Richland decision in effect halted condemnation. In considering the University's appeal, the supreme court pointed Sophomor Legislativ A USC student was elected Gov ernor of South Carolina at the State Student Legislature session held Thursday through Saturday of last week, with 36 USC stu dents represented at the session. Bill Youngblood, newly elected governor, says he feels that the Student Legislature "influences both legislation and the general affairs of the state probably more than any one thing that the student in South Carolina can do." Youngblood's duties as gover nor include: organizing and ob taining speakers for the spring session, finances, and being in charge of the next fall session. At this session, all bills passed will be sent to him to either sign or veto. on Work [g Senate A joint resolution submitted by Senators John Harlee and Jim Willis asked that the Legislative Committee draw up a semester! schedule plan that would place exams before the Christmas holi days.

'n the absence of constitutinal nhibition, we see no reason why he procedure prescribed by the Public Works Eminent Domain Law' could not be made a part of section 22-107 of the code as fully ind effectually as if such had >een incorporated therein." The court added that the con ititutionality of the two sections >f the code that it cited, 22-101 (8) and 22-107, were not chal enged by Mehlman and concluded :herefore, "We need not decide vhether the 'Public Works Emi ient Domain Law,' standing done, is unconstitutional." It referred the case to the Richland county circuit court for kppropriate action. Attorney Gen !ral Daniel R. McLeod and As istant Attorney General J. C. oleman are expected to take up he matter in that court. Chief Justice Claude A. Taylor ind Associate Justices Lewis, Bussey and Brailsford concurred in the opinion written by Justice Moss, making it unanimous. The Mehlman property is de sired by the University as the site lor a 250-student veil block resi lence hall, tentatively designated men's dormitory N. An adjacent veil block unit for 250 men was begun nearby on October 26 and is now progress ing. This unit and a lounge-cafe teria unit are slated for comple tion by late August. Work on the second unit is to begin as soon as the Mehlman property can be acquired.

It said in part in an opinion by Associate Justice Joseph R. Moss, of York, "The right and power of condemnation by the University was delegated to it by Section 22-104 (8) of the Code rather than by the 'Public Works Eminent Domain Law,'" and was later embodied in Section 22-107 of the state law code. I The court then said the Univer- I sity could proceed with the con- 1 demnation under the law that it i cited and such portions of the eminent domain law as seemed applicable, stating: "We think I such a construction gives effect i -e Chosen Head Bill which were introduced by the USC delegation and passed were: absentee balloting, revi sion of the state liquor laws, teacher pay laws, and women on state juries.
