Elizabeth Vernon, of Andover Borough, holds her daughter Baia, 5 months, while filling water jugs in Stokes State Forest. She wants more No Idling Zone signs put up, especially in Stokes State Forest near the spring water tap, where people come for water and line up, leaving their cars idling while waiting for their turn.

Shooting

fifth victim is a 20-year-old man from New York City who is not a student.

The university's interim president, Gabriel Esteban, said Moore was a sophomore honors student from Disputanta, Va., majoring in psychology. During a news conference on campus, Esteban, who appeared to be on the verge of tears, said he had been with the students' families in the hospital all day.

"It's a call no parent wants to get," he said.

Police were not releasing the other victims' names because the shooter remains at-large, Di Elmo said.

A student who said she attended the party and had classes with Moore told The Associated Press that there was a fight after a man was kicked out because he didn't want to pay the cover charge.

The woman did not give her name, citing fears for her safety because the shooter was still at large.

The student said the man then came back and began firing his gun.

"This girl was here to go to school and nothing else, and she just wanted to go have fun, and we all were having fun 30 seconds before that happened," the student said of the shootings.

Another partygoer told The Star-Ledger of Newark that he was in the kitchen and heard people shouting in the living room when a shot rang out. More shots were fired as the panicked crowd stampeded toward the back of the house to try to escape, the man said. He also declined to give his full name to the newspaper out of fear for his safety.

The apartment is located at 564 South Clinton St. in East Orange, less than a mile from the university. Well-kept row homes line the street, but a main cross street leads

to a tougher part of town. Police cruisers and orange

cones blocked traffic on the street where the shootings happened. An electronic highway sign propped up down the street offered a reward for information and gave a tip line phone number.

Mary Williams, a 59-yearold retiree who lives next door, said she was in bed when she heard the gunshots, and she called 9-1-1.

"I seen people scattering, climbing out the window, trying to get out the front door, back windows, a lot of hollering and screaming," Williams said in a telephone interview.

A number of people who fled the house sought refuge at a White Castle restaurant down the street, said Vanie Estime, an employee there.

"I was doing the drive-in and I heard screaming through my headset," she told the AP.

The university planned a community prayer service Saturday at 9 p.m. to "support the Seton Hall students

and their families affected by

this morning's shooting in

East Orange," according to a

notice posted on the school's

website.

Additionally, the school's

Department of Public Safety

urged students to "travel in

groups when walking off

campus."

Student

Connor

McCormick, of Colchester,

Vt., said the school sends

campuswide e-mails when-

ever a mugging occurs.

"We probably get one a

week," said McCormick, 19,

adding than when students

go off campus, "You don't

walk alone."

Seton Hall, a private

Catholic university in nearby

South Orange, about 15 miles

west of New York City,

enrolls about 10,000

students.

Perspectives journal, the

American Journal of Public

Health and many others.

The

Environmental

Defense Fund found that

children were more vulnera-

ble than adults to traffic-

related air pollution, causing

asthma, respiratory conse-

quences and stunted lung

development; vehicle emis-

sions could cause adverse

reproductive outcomes such

as stunted fetal develop-

ment, low birth weight and

premature birth; and diesel

emissions can trigger asth-

ma attacks in children and

adults.

One report from the

American Journal of

Epidemiology found that the

mix of emissions from idling

vehicles caused lower IQ

levels in Boston children

who were exposed to high

levels.

Vernon received two free

"No Idling" signs from the

DEP, but trying to get them

put up in Stokes State Forest

is another problem. Vernon

said park manager Paul

Stern refused to put up one

of the signs, and the one he

will put up is not close

enough to the well.

The current sign is about

20 feet from where people

collect their water at the popular water source, but Vernon is concerned that the people waiting to get their water won't see it.

"There needs to be a sign right where they get the water," Vernon said.

Stern said he planned to replace the current "No Idling" sign with one of the signs Vernon got from the DEP, but referred comment on a second sign to the DEP's press office.

DEP Spokesperson Larry Hajna said it "appears people are complying with the one sign" and a second sign would be unnecessary.

"We don't want an overabundance of signs," Hajna said.

Hajna added that the DEP was very appreciative of Vernon's efforts.

Currently, there is a "No Hunting or Trapping" sign on a tree next to the well. Also, when the New Jersey Herald visited the well last week, two cars (in addition to the utility truck) stopped and idled while Vernon filled up her bottles.

"I don't understand why there is so much resistance," Vernon said, of the DEP.

Vernon said despite getting only one sign in Stokes State Forest, she will not stop her efforts to stop idling in the park, and New Jersey as a whole.

"This is just round one," Vernon said. "I'm not going anywhere."

CORRECTION

In a story in Friday's New Jersey Herald, "Vernon ballot question sparks debate," it was incorrectly reported that Vernon Mayor Sally Rinker had stated that Craig Benda had posted "slanderous material" about her and Jessi Paladini on . Rinker only said that Benda had posted slanderous material about her, not about Paladini.
