Folk singer to appear on KJHK, in local bar
"I'd never entered anything before, so it was a surprise to me," Bajackson said. "I was really excited about it."
Singer-songwriter Jim White will appear on KJHK, 90.7, at 3 p.m. tomorrow.
KJHK disc jockey Evan Emerson will interview White, who in February released a new folk-rock album, No Such Place, to much acclaim. White was recently featured in GQ, Rolling Stone, Time and Entertainment Weekly.
Emerson said he planned to ask White, who once worked as a successful fashion model, about his journey into the music world. White has agreed to give a small concert on air.
White will also perform at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire, tomorrow as part of his Far From Mississippi Tour.

Missing student might have attended concert
Cayce Thomasson, a Prairie Village senior who has been missing since March 21, may have attended an out-of-state concert and not returned yet, Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said yesterday.
"If that's the case, that's great," Patrick said. "But if it's not, we're going to do everything possible to find her."
Pattrick said he could not disclose which concert she had attended or where it was. Thomasson's parents reported her missing to the police Saturday after they could not reach her by phone or enter her apartment to make sure she was OK, said Sarah Thomasson, Cavce's mother.
The Thomassons think Cayne may have walked to Marvin Hall to work in the studio on her architecture assignment the night of March 21. They have not heard from her since. She has not contacted friends since that date, either.
Friends posted fliers with pictures of Cayce around campus Sunday. Anyone with information is encouraged to call 843-TIPS.

Haskell student stabbed in fight near Club 508
A Haskell Indian Nations University student was stabbed in the small of his back early Saturday morning near Club 508, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Mike Patrick said the 21-year-old student left Club 508, 508 Locust St., at closing and went to help someone he knew who was getting into a fight. About eight people were initially involved in the fight, Patrick said, and the number increased as the fight progressed.
When the student arrived at his vehicle, he discovered he was bleeding and realized he had been
stabbed, Patrick said. His friends drove him to the hospital, and police were called.

Pattrick said the wound did not appear to be life-threatening.

FAA investigates cause of jet crash in Aspen
ASPEN, Colo. — The Federal Aviation Administration launched an investigation into why a warning against nighttime bad-weather landings at the Aspen airport apparently never reached the tower before the crash of an executive jet that left 18 people dead.
The FAA warning, issued two days before Thursday's crash, said planes should be banned from making night instrument landings at the airport, where pilots are forced to make a steep descent to a single runway surrounded by mountains.
Air traffic controllers apparently did not receive the warning and gave the charter pilot permission for an instrument landing Thursday in light snow. Moments later, the twin-engine Gulfstream III crashed a few hundred yards from the runway, killing all 15 passengers and three crew members
