CHECKOUT A TRIO OF GOLDEN WEST COLLEGE
STARS AT THE VIDEO STORE THIS HOLIDAY

If holiday shopping takes you to the video store, get ready to pick a trio of Golden West College’s most notable former students, who appeared in several of this summer’s blockbuster motion pictures.

Vivica Fox, who attended GWC from 1982-87, plays Will Smith’s heartthrob in “Independence Day,” which grossed nearly $300 million in theaters this summer before invading the video market in time for the holiday-shopping rush.

Mark Mancina, a Golden West music student starting in 1973, wrote and composed the scores for the smash “Twister” and “Moll Flanders,” a more artistic film with a classical score that Mancina called his best work.

Don L. Harper, who started at GWC in 1970, composed the music for the hits “Broken Arrow” and “The Rock.” He also worked with Mancina on “Moll Flanders” and “Assassins,” which appeared in theaters in 1985.

Those interested in becoming famous Golden West College graduates can apply and register now for classes. Registration continues through December 18 and resumes after the winter break on January 13, 1997. Classes begin on January 21.

More information is available by calling (714) 895-8306 or by visiting the college’s Web site at http://www.gwc.cccd.edu.
