TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1956 Over $l5OO Pledged In 'Dimes Program One broken rhythm-and-blues recording, challenges, and dedications were offered by radio station WMAJ on its an nual Dimes and Dollars show Sunday night. The annual March for Dimes program netted $1519.42 in pledges, the highest amount in the show’s six-year history. Station officials said yesterday that in the past years about 65 to 70 per cent of the pledged amount is received. Besides this, the show provided top entertainment and plenty of laughs. Listeners heard disc jockey Steve Fishbein, senior in journal ism from State College, break Bill Haley and his Comets’ re cording of “See You Later Alli gator” over the air. Many requests and donations poured into the station to hear the R-and-B number, and after Fishbein had played it twice, some listeners apparently got a little tired of the controversial record. Almost $l2 was pledged to have it broken over the air. Many Records Requested The show, which ran from 8 p.m. to 1:07 a.m., saw many re quests. Frank Sinatra took the lead for vocalists, and Mario Lan za’s version of the “The Drinking Song,” from “Student Prince,” and The Platters’ “The Great Pretend er” were probably the songs re quested most often. I Other requests included “On ward Christian Soldiers,” “The Star Spangled Banner,” "Dixie,” and “The Voodoo Suite” by Perez Prado and “Shorty” Rogers. Beaver House fraternity was high among student groups with its donation of $BO. Second was Third Floor McKee with $77.50. Individuals Challenge The show saw individuals chal lenging each other to match their donations, as well as fraternities, sororities, and other living groups issuing “any - thing-you-can-do-I can-do-better” statements. Challenges included Phi Epsi lon Pi fraternity and Beta Sigma Rho fraternity, and the women in Beecher House and Phi Delta Theta. Mrs. Sheldon C. Tanner, chair man of the State College March of Dimes drive, yesterday thanked the contributors, especially the students. She also praised WMAJ and its staff for donating' their time and services. Donations may be mailed or de livered in person to the station, Fishbein said.
