AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL TO SUPPORT "BLANK PICTURES", A STUDENT-INITIATED PROJECT TO INCREASE UNDERSTANDING OF DIFFERENT RACES AND CULTURES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina the sum of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) for the 1998-99 fiscal year for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to support "Blank Pictures".  
Blank Pictures is a student-initiated project designed to educate the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's campus on historical and newsworthy events that would otherwise go unknown.  This project entails bringing students together in a variety of settings, including social and academic, in which diverse interactions may take place.  Through the usage of film and video, the project aims to lessen the impact of naivete and bring about a better understanding of different races and cultures.
Section 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1998.
