Texas Tech's Mackey . -W expected to be named new MSU president WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said yesterday that the DC-10 might have design defects and suspended the cer- tificate of the troubled plane, grounding all 138 of the jetliners flown by U.S. carriers. The agency also banned all foreign- operated DC-10s from flying in U.S. airspace. The FAA said foreign-owned DC-10s now on U.S. soil will be allowed to take off for an overseas destination, but they cannot carry passengers or cargo. The move, unprecedented in the jet age, disrupted travelers' plans at air- ports across the nation. FAA CHIEF Langhorne Bond said the planes would remain on the ground until McDonnell Douglas Corp., the DC- 10 manufacturer, proves the aircraft is safe. He said that would take at least a week and perhaps longer. "It's going to be some time," Bond told a newsconference. "I can'tmake a guess on just how long. The grounding will remain in effect until the problem is found, analyzed and cured," he said. It was the fourth time in a week that all or some of the DC-10s had been grounded in the aftermath of the May 25 crash of one of the big jets in Chicago. The American Airlines plane crashed and burned after an engine fell off during takeoff, killing 275 persons in the nation's worst aviation disaster. THE FAA grounded the jetliners yesterday after fresh hairline cracks were found in the engine mounts of two of the big jets that had been inspected and cleared during one of the earlier groundings. The cracks were in the same area where a 10-inch crack was discovered on the jet that went down in Chicago. The order was issued by Bond, who was informed of the new-cracks while in See ALL, Page 2 By JULIE ENGEBRECHT Michigan State University's (MSU) Board of Trustees is expected to name Texas Technological University President Cecil Mackey as its new president this morning, ending a presidential hunt which lasted over 18 months. The board yesterday called a special meeting for 9 a.m. today, and said it would receive a recommendation from the MSU presidential selection commit- tee. MACKEY, 50, who was in East Lan- sing last night, apparently arrived in the city Tuesday. His expected appoin- tment to the post was not anticipated, because Mackey withdrew from the competition after he learned his name had been published in a list of conten- ders in mid-April. He flew out of Lubbock, Texas to Washington allegedly to attend a meeting of the National Science Foun- dation. He then made reservations to fly back to Lubbock yesterday, but was not on his flight, the student newspaper at Texas Tech confirmed. Instead of returning to Lubbock, he took a plane to Michigan. Despite qualifications as a university administrator, having served as president of both Texas Tech and the University of South Florida (USF), many of his policies at the two univer- sities have been questioned by those who worked with him.

Dr. Cecil Mackey, current- ly president of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, is expected to be named to the position.
