Women song composers
debut on record albums
THE BATTALION
Wednesday, April 21, 1971
College Station, Texas

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-

ty. 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.

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. They work hard to

Calendar
and others
achieve their goals and acquire
possessions and are likely to be
driving perfectionists. 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.
