"The racial violence at South Philadelphia High School last month has drawn the official attention of yet another government agency.
The Mayor's Commission on Asian American Affairs yesterday expressed 'deep concern' over the Dec. 3 beatings of 30 Asian students by large groups of primarily African American pupils, and announced that it would monitor the situation at the school.
The advisory commission, which has no enforcement power, is at least the sixth authority to open an investigation, hold hearings, or focus an official eye on the school. They include the Philadelphia Police Department, the city and state Commissions on Human Relations, and Vietnam's deputy ambassador to the United States."
