'American Pie his Biggest Hit As Crowds Cheer STEREO sets in dormitory rooms at Salisbury State College continue to belt out the songs of popular singer Don McLean. More often than the others is the disc "American Pie" which skyr"cked him into national prominence. This new star of contemporary music appeared in a concert at the College Thursday.
