Women song composers debut on record albums THE BATTALION Wednesday, April 21, 1971 College Station, Texas Page 3 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Joni Mitchell, Melanie and Lau ra Nyro are established, writing songs from their own personal vision, performing them, having them performed by other people. Carole King is rising fast. Let’s see what other women are making debut records, in an effort to be among those who have made it rather than among the unknowns. At first listening, there is nobody with the melody of Melanie, the bite of Miss Nyro or the poetry of Miss Mitchell, but repeated listenings may make some sound better. And future recordings may show developed potential. Nobody paid much at tention to Miss Nyro’s first rec ord, or even to James Taylor’s. And potential we hear plenty, from the debutantes. First the most unusual thing for women musicians has been done by two sisters born in Ma nila, a girl born in Mason City, Iowa and one native to Washing ton D.C. They got together in California and formed a rock group. They call it Fanny. Fanny has real rock energy and zest. It sounds good. It isn’t hard rock, or fluffy soft and it certainly isn’t getting by on the novelty of having guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and vocals all by girls., though that is a novel- LOU Will Not Be Out-traded or Under-sold He really appreciates Your Business :00 P.

It really has drive. Our fa vorite numbers from the album “Fanny,” on Reprise, are “Chang ing Horses” and “Bitter Wine.” Group members write the songs. “Carly Simon” on Elektra, has a sister who is an opera singer. She has another sister, married, with whom she used to sing folk songs. Now it’s write and sing her own—seven of the 10 on the Ip. Miss Simon has a full-bodied folk voice, very agreeable and even memorable. Her lyrics are straightforward—“All I find is that behind each new door is an other door.” Some of the lyrics miss a little, like “That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard it Should Be,” about marriage. But there’s a lot of potential here. Buzzy Linhart plays guitar and wrote one of the songs. “Kathy Smith,” who plays rhythm guitar, wrote five of the nine songs on her Stormy Forest album. This Album obviously is produced by somebody who knows what’s what. It is well thought- out, giving space for good instru mentals. Miss Smith has a tune ful voice, which can float and in which she sometimes introduces strain to emphasize the lyrics. She wrote “Topanga,” about love being over and being ready for a change. Her publishing company is named Topanga. Pamela Pol- land, who wrote two of the songs here, also published by Topanga, is represented by a good song of religious questioning. Try the to find Oriental out about By SUE DAVIS Battalion Women’s Editor Perhaps sometime your parents have commented on your choice of boyfriends with the unequivo cal statement: “He’s a Rat.” Before you lecture them on being unfair and totally wrong, you better check the Oriental For tune Calendar. Chances are they could be right! The zodiac of the East, like ours in the West, is a fortune-telling system based on birth dates. But whereas our runs on a twelve month cycle, the Eastern version is based on a cycle of twelve years, with each year carrying its own animal symbol: Rat, Ox- Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Cock, Dog and Boar. The Oriental Zodiac can be good news to girls. The Western Zodiac may state that you are incompatible with that guy you’ve had your eye on. But take heart! Consult the Oriental Fortune Cal endar. You might be very com patible with him. Below are listed each symbol, the years that belong ti it and some of the characteristics of the people born in that year. The Year of the Rat occurred in 1900, 1912, 1924, 1936 and 1948. People born in the Year of the Rat are noted for their charm and attraction for the opposite sex.

Being bas ically thrifty, they tend to save money; but on occasion love can make them blind financially. In fact, the only time a Rat person becomes generous is with some one he loves. Rat people are easily angered, but are able to maintain an out ward show of control. They can be small-minded about many things, but their ambitions are big, and they are usually very successful. A Rat person, once he starts something, isn’t happy until he finishes it. Rat people are honest and open, but they love to gossip. They are most com patible with Dragon, Monkey and Ox, and a disaster with Horse. The Year of the Ox occurred in 1901, 1913, 1925, 1937 and 1949. People born in this year are patient, speak little and in spire confidence in others. They tend, however to be eccentric and bigoted, and they anger easily. It is sound advice to avoid angry Ox persons; they have fierce tempers. They speak little, but when they do, they can be elo quent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert and dexter ous to the point of genius. Al though easygoing, they can be remarkably stubborn and they hate to fail. They do not like to be opposed. Some Ox people regard love as a sort of game, an attiude that occasionally causes some difficul ties with their loves ones. They are most compatible with Snake, Cock and Rat, and a disaster with Sheep. The Years of the Tiger were 1902, 1910, 1926, 1938 and 1950. Tiger people are sensitive, given to deep thinking, capable of great sympathy. They can be extremely short-tempered, however. Other people have great respect for them, but sometimes Tiger people come into conflict with older people or those in authority. Tiger people always get credit where credit is due. Sometimes they cannot make up their minds, which can result in a poor, hasty decision or a sound decision ar rived at too late. They tend to be suspicious of others and a bit selfish, but they are courageous and powerful. They are most compatible with Dragon, Horse and Dog, and a disaster with Snake and Monkey. The Year of the Rabbit occurred in 1903, 1915, 1927, 1939 and 1951. People born in one of these years are articulate, talented and ambitious; and, it is said “most fortunate.” They are virtuous, reserved and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired and trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip, but are tactful and generally kind. They are affectionate with those they love, yet at the same time curiously detached from their families. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and con scientious, and never back out of a contract. They sometimes tend to be pedantic and melancholy. They would make good gamblers, for they have an uncanny gift for choosing the right thing. They seldom gamble, however, being conservative and wise. They are most compatible with Sheep, Boar and Dog, and a disaster with Cock. The Years of the Dragon were 1904, 1916, 1928, 1940 and 1952. Poeple born in this year are healthy, energetic, excitable, short - tempered and stubborn. They are also honest, sensitive, brave and they inspire trust and confidence. Dragon people are the most eccentric of any in the Ori ental Zodiac. They neither bor row maney nor make flowery speeches. They are sincere in what they say. Their opinions are valid. They are extremely capable, but they tend to be soft hearted, which sometimes gives others an advantage over them— for a while. Dragon people are seldom fooled for long. Other people love them, but they sometimes worry needlessly about affection. They tend to marry early or not at all. They are most compatible with Tiger, Rat, Snake, Monkey, and Cock, and a disaster with Dog. The Year of the Snake occurred in 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941 and 1953. Snake people are deep. They speak little, possess great wisdom. They never have to worry about money; they are financially fortunate. Snake people are often quite vain, selfish and a bit stingy. Yet they have tremendous sympathy for others and try to help those less fortunate. Snake people tend to overdo, since they have doubts about other people’s judgment and prefer to rely on themselves. They are determined in whatever they do. They hate to fail. Although calm on the surface they are in tense and passionate. Snake people are usually good-looking and often have marital troubles because they are fickle. They are most compatible with Ox and Cock, and disaster with Tiger and Boar. The Years of the Horse were 1906, 1918, 1930, 1942 and 1954. Horse Year people are popular. They are cheerful, skillful with money and perceptive, even though they sometimes talk too much. They are wise, talented, good with their hands and some times too showy in dress or man ner. Confident and clever-looking, they have a weakness for mem bers of the opposite sex. When they become emotionally involved. Horse people let every thing else slide. They are im patient and hot-blooded about everything except their daily work. Horse Year people like entertainment and large crowds and prefer to be where the action is. They are very independent, rarely listen to advice, and strike out on their own as soon as pos sible. They are most compatible with Tiger, Dog and Sheep, and disaster with Rat. The Year of the Sheep was in 1907, 1919, 1931, 1943 and 1955. People born in the Sheep Year are elegant and highly accom plished in the arts. They seem to be, at first glance, better off than those born in the zodiac’s other years. But Sheep Year people are often shy, pessimistic and puzzled about life; uncertain of their direction. They are usully deeply religious, yet timid by nature; seldom the world’s leaders. Sometimes clumsy in speech, Sheep people are always passion ate about what they do and what they believe in. They never have to worry about having the best in life, for their abilities make money for them, and they are able to enjoy the creature com forts that they prize. They al ways exercise good taste. Sheep people are wise, gentle and com passionate. They are most com patible with Rabbit, Boar and Horse, and disaster with Ox nd Dog. The Years of the Monkey were 1908, 1920, 1932, 1944 and 1956. People born in these years are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn’t be suc cessful, but they have a discon certing habit of being too agree able. They want to do things now, and if they cannot get start ed immediately, they become dis couraged and sometimes abandon the project. Many Monkey people tend to look down on others. They are good at making decisions and have common sense. Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge; read, see and know a great deal; and have excellent memories, re calling details with ease. Monkey people are passionate and strong- willed, but their anger cools quickly. They often become fam ous if allowed to pursue their own course. They are most compatible with Dragon and Rat, and a dis aster with Snake, Boar and Tiger. The Year of the Cock occurred in 1909, 1921, 1933, 1945 and 1957. People born in these years are deep thinkers, capable and tal ented. They like to be busy and are devoted to their work. They try to fulfill any obligation— even those beyond their capabili ties—and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the Cock Year are often a bit eccen tric, often have a rather difficult relationship with others. They always think they are right, and usually are. They frequently are loners. Though they give the out ward impression of being adven turous, they are timid. They often have big plans, which never mature. Cock people’s emotions, like their fortunes, swing very high to very low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave. They are most compatible with Ox, Snake and Dragon, and disaster with Rat, Cock, Dog and Rabbit. The Dog Years were 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946 and 1958. People born in Dog Years possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest and inspire other people’s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog Year people are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emo tionally and sometimes distant in social gatherings. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. ^nn A * <£) 0® (D (H) ® ® 0©(S) f' - (sHjpr) 0®©®®®®©©© THE COMPLETE ELECTRIC PORTABLE.
