Racist, anti-Semitic, and antigay graffiti appeared on the campus of a Christian college in Beaver Falls, Pa., for the second time in about a month, a school official said. About 11 street signs on Geneva College's campus were covered in epithets aimed at gays, blacks, Jews, Japanese, and whites, said Ken Carson, vice president of academic affairs.

Carson said he discovered the graffiti while driving to church Sunday. Six of the 11 signs targeted blacks, he said. Anyone at the school connected to the graffiti could be expelled, Carson said.

Cynthia Cook, director of the college's multiethnic student services, warned against overpublicizing the graffiti, which she said might encourage the person who wrote it. "If we keep drawing attention to it, that's what they want to see," Cook said. "We're not going to fall into that pattern of trying to make something of it." (AP)
