NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY

1973 SESSION

 

 

CHAPTER 773

SENATE BILL 620

 

 

AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR A GRANT-IN-AID TO THE EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY SUMMER THEATRE.

 

Whereas, the East Carolina University Summer Theatre has for several years provided summer entertainment and cultural enrichment for the people of North Carolina in the form of musical and dramatic productions; and

Whereas, the Theatre is a credit to the institution and to the State; and

Whereas, the Theatre's financial operations are maintained separate and apart from the financial operations of East Carolina University; and

Whereas, the Theatre has for the most part been self-sustaining, deriving its support over the years from admission charges and other receipts with the exception of a single grant-in-aid from the State in 1969; and

Whereas, modest additional support from the State is now needed to supplement admission charges in order to maintain the level of excellence previously achieved; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

Section 1.  There is hereby appropriated out of the General Fund of the State of North Carolina for the fiscal year 1973-74 the sum of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) as a grant-in-aid to the East Carolina University Summer Theatre.

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1973.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 23rd day of May, 1973.
