Princeton faculty sent a peti-
tion to Princeton president
Shirley Tilghman calling for
the University to rid itself of its
investments in companies that
manufacture weapons, The Daily

in Freedom Group, the manufac-
turer of the Bushmaster brand
of assault rifle used in the New-
town massacre.
The petition also stressed that
the faculty were not experts in
gun control, butsimply educators
who were "anguished by the loss
of humanity that the tragedy at
Sandy Hook represen'ts."
Princeton stated, in response
Fowl pla
to the petition, that it doe
discuss its investments.

DETROIT (AP) - A review
team scrutinizing Detroit's
poor finances could make a rec-
ommendation this week that
will help determine whether
there's a state takeover of the
city, Mayor Dave Bing said
Tuesday.
Snyder appointed the, team
last month after Detroit was
slow to fulfill promises to the
state in a deal that allowed the
city to avoid having an emer-
gency manager take over its
finances.
If the team determines
Detroit is in a financial emer-

Snyder could appoint an emer-
gency manager. Bing would
have 10 days to appeal.
"I think the review team -
maybe on the 11th or so - will
go back to the governor with
a recommendation," Bing told
reporters Tuesday afternoon
at City Hall. "With that recom-
mendation it will be incumbent
upon the governor to make a
decision as to whether or not to
bring somebody else in or to let
us keep going forward.
"Our goal is to keep going
forward. I've said from the
very beginning, we didn't
want an emergency man-
ager."
Detroit has struggled with
its cash flow for more than a
year and has a budget deficit
of about $327 million.
The review 'team is the
second appointed by Snyder
to pore over Detroit's books.
A year ago, the first team
stopped short of declaring a
financial emergency, which
would have provided the
governor with the impetus
to appoint a manager.
Instead, Snyder and Bing
worked out a consent agree-
ment last spring that would
keep him on as mayor while
providing some state support
for Detroit's restructuring.
The deal came without
any direct state funding.
