TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) - Despite
pleas from fellow students and her
parents, Laurie Kato's flat-top "new
wave" haircut may keep her from at-
tending high school graduation exer-
cises, school officials say.
"They just said my hair is a radical
change in personality and an ex-
presion of anger towards the school,"
the 17-year-old senior at Bishop Mon-
tgomery High School said Thursday.
"They say I have problems under the
surface."
THE REV. Liam Kidney, principal of
the school, said her haircut wasn't the
issue, but he declined to elaborate other
than to say the school may relent and
let the girl attend Sunday's ceremonies
"My hope is to get together and talk;"
Kidney said after a meeting with Miss
Kato's parents Thursday.
Miss Kato, who described herself asa
B and C student with an interest in art,
said her troubles began three weeks
ago in a conversation with Carolyn
Quijano, girl's dean of student
discipline at the Roman Catholic
school.
"WE WERE talking about my hair. I
said I was going to get it cut again. She
said, 'I'd rather you grow it out for
graduation because it would look bet-
ter,' " Miss Kato said.
But Miss Kato decided to cut her
brunette hair, anyway. An apprentice
hairstylist at a haircutting competition
in Beverly Hills cut her hair in a style
now popular in London, Miss Kato said.
Her classmates gathered about 150
signatures on a petition demanding
Miss Kato be allowed to attend
graduation.
"It's so stupid," senior Diane Murphy
said Thursday. "The school officials act
as if it's bothering us, and it's not."
Miss Kato said she also was told not to
attend an awards ceremony at which
she was to be given a certificate from
the Bank of America for her art work.
But she and her parents attended
anyway.
Her mother, Kenichi Kato of Carson,
said the family is upset about the
school's attitude, calling it "a big in-
sult."
