Furniture creates new energy for Main Street Amy Xue Students entered the Tiger Drive entrance one morning in mid-September to see tables and chairs lining the walls where students used to sit on the floor to study and eat lunch. This new furniture arrived as part of an initiative to create more hangout spaces for students around the school. Principal Henry Turner and student representatives on the Student Faculty Administration (SFA) worked together to create a “common space for students and teachers to chat, get ready for the day, get some work done, or even just destress and relax,” Turner said. The furniture was funded by the Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO), he added. Turner informed students of the furniture in an email sent Aug. 22. Students have mixed opinions on the new furniture. “I definitely think that the furniture met my expectations, if not exceeded them,” said senior Charlotte West. “I’m very grateful for them because the school is overcrowded and it’s a nice spot to do work and hang out with friends.” Many other upperclassmen agree with West. Senior Isabella Nielsen said, “I feel like it’s definitely a good initiative they’re taking. I’m glad they’re finally listening to students and fixing issues about overcrowding.” Some are pleased but expected by

Senior Josh Castleman puts new Main Street furniture to use as he completes his homework Monday, Sept. 17. more furniture due to the build-up of excitement from last year. “I had super high expectations to start,” said senior Michael Cornish. “It was hyped up a lot, but it’s definitely better than just sitting on the floor.” “I thought they meant couches at first, but any place we could stay in without getting kicked out is good,” said senior Evan Dyer.
Overall, the new furniture has been well received by the students. Sophomore Cole Martin said, “I think it’s pretty cool. It’s a place to sit and socialize, and it’s very comfortable.” According to Riley House dean Michelle Stauss, Main Street is currently only open to upperclassmen during school hours. During second semester, sophomores will
also be allowed to hang out on Main Street. This rule is a continuation of the open campus policy, in which upperclassmen with good academic standing earn the privilege of free blocks and the ability to leave campus. Before and after school hours, anyone is free to use the furniture. This furniture is part of an ongoing effort to address a lack of
hangout spaces and overcrowding at North as its student population grows each year, according to Turner. He added that the new space has behavioral “norms similar to those in a Starbucks” that a group of now sophomores, juniors, and seniors developed. The furniture is a product of an SFA bill passed at the end of the 2016-2017 school year that turned Main Street into a student hangout space. After a series of pilot runs, the administration officially opened Main Street and the corridor near the Tiger Drive entrance this April. While the issue of hangout spaces started years ago, there was a growing call for more such spaces last year due to a clarification of behavorial norms establishing the Library Learning Commons as a learning space, not a social space. As a result, many students were left without places to go on campus during free blocks, according to junior Dina Gorelik, an SFA representative. “There really isn’t a communal space for people to go when they have frees,” she said last year. Using money from the Class of 2018’s senior gift, carpentry is currently building benches to add to Main Street, according to Turner. “We still have some money left,” he added. “If people want, we could purchase some more of this furniture for Main Street.”
Students express frustration over restricted parking Jacques Abou-Rizk Student drivers with and without parking permits have struggled to find parking spots in the opening weeks of school due to limited space and regulation changes over the summer. Over the summer, Upland Road, a street near campus and a popular parking area, changed from all-day parking to two-hour parking. According to Captain Paul Anastasia, Newton Traffic Bureau Commander, parking was restricted “due to complaints from neighbors last year and a verified public safety issue of emergency vehicles not being able to get through Upland Road on school days.” Even for students with parking passes, finding a parking space has also proven difficult. “Even though 150 permits are given out, there aren’t nearly enough spots to fit 150 cars,” said senior Alison Wong. Each year, the Newton Police Department issues 150 parking permits to North students for $25 each on a first come, first served basis, with priority given to seniors. Permits allow students to park in designated spots on Hull Street and Lowell Avenue. Those who do not receive passes usually choose to park on nearby streets with all-day parking. “One class is about 500 people,” said Wong, “so 150 cannot even fill half of that.” At a senior class assembly Tuesby
day, Sept. 11, school police officer John Panica reassured students that there are enough spaces for all those with parking permits. However, “as someone that parks with a parking permit, I could not believe when they say there are 150 spots available,” said senior Maya Mathews. “They don’t account for spaces between cars. There is no way 150 cars are able to fit on Hull and Lowell.” According to the student parking regulations on the North website, “A parking permit allows you to legally park in a designated area. It does not guarantee you a space.” Senior Emma Klein, noted that parking may be limited by North’s location. “I think it’s never going to be enough, but they are limited by how many parking passes they can give out,” said Klein. “There’s nothing the school can do, and the location of the school does make it difficult for them.” While the Newton police manages North parking permits, according to Anastasia, they can only set and make temporary parking regulations when deemed an emergency. All parking laws are handled by the Traffic Council of the City Council. Klein added that many student parking problems could be solved if the city, school, residents, and students discussed such issues. “I think it would be about communicating with neighbors,” Klein

Senior Morgan Britt-Webb walks from her car on Hull Street to school early in the morning Friday, Sept. 14. said. “There are a lot of side streets around for students to park on, but a lot of them are very narrow and have time limits.” A school committee initiative last year attempted to encourage students to bike rather than drive, according to Mathews, who is a student representative of the School Committee. Currently, the city is working to improve road safety for bikers by adding bike lanes and altering bus schedules. “The initiative was promot-
ing not driving, simply because of the crazy congestion of Newton streets,” Mathews said. “The Newton school system, in general, makes up about 50 percent of the street congestion in the morning. That means every other person behind you is on their way to a Newton Public School in the morning.” With the new school year having just started, Wong added that student parking is only going to get worse.

“Since most juniors don’t have their licenses right now, it isn’t as bad,” Wong said. “But when they do, around March and May, Bulloughs and the few other side streets there that allow all-day parking are going to fill up super quickly in the morning.” Looking to the future, senior Morgan Britt-Webb added, “The freshman class is much bigger than my grade, and when they can drive, there is going to be a huge problem.”

Alleviate stress by joining fulfilling school activities Activities that simultaneously spark interest, present challenges, and fuel a passion provide spaces for students to become immersed in the task at hand, whether it is developing a case theory in Mock Trial, knitting a scarf in Old Grannies, or playing a game of Dungeons & Dragons in Role Playing Games club.
editorial In losing oneself in an activity, students are able to set aside both academic and social stressors in order to lock in on an all-consuming endeavor. In absolute concentration, there is no room to think about bad grades or drama with a friend. As students attend Club Day and add to their lists of activities for the year, they should use the sense of losing oneself as a standard for their choices. At the beginning of the year, deans rightly encourage freshmen to search the cafeteria for clubs with the intent of forming friendships in order to make the large school feel small. However, these students could start by finding an activity they can become immersed in, losing track of exterior problems by focusing on a pleasurable task in a small home within the school. Friendships can be sparked by common interests, or by constructing something together, whether it is a website, a robot, or a theatre set. At this time of the year, many upperclassmen feel tortured by
the threat of college deadlines and, given the hyper-competitive nature of the college admissions process, might be tempted to see Club Day as a last chance to pad applications. However, this only reinforces the pressures of college preparations instead of serving as a much-needed de-stressor. Instead of hunting up clubs for their resumes, these students should browse activities that can completely harness their devotion. After leaving North, they can look back on hard work, fulfillment, and fond memories. The epitome of this ideal, Dreamfar Marathon runners focus their training only on breathing and putting one foot in front of the other. Their concentration on the sheer act of running eventually leads them across the finish line. Students should enjoy their years at North as meaningful experiences in their own right rather than merely as a stepping stone. Start by taking a look at this year’s club line-up and noting a few clubs that you can see yourself committing time and energy to. A club is the right fit when a Theatre Ink show, High School Quiz Show competition, or an Interact Club project—occasionally—takes priority over Netflix, parties, or even grades. If meeting a midnight deadline matters more to you than eight hours of sleep, you have found the club in which to lose yourself.
School mourns passing of memorable English teacher
Carolyn MacDonald James Lallas, an English teacher who inspired North students to appreciate literature, died this summer. Before coming to North in 2001, Mr. Lallas taught at three schools across New England. He taught at this school for 14 years and retired
by
in 2015. He taught every grade and all levels of English over the course of his career. English department head Melissa Dilworth said that Mr. Lallas profoundly shaped North’s community. “He was without a doubt one of the most passionate people when it comes to the power of literature and the arts,” she said. “He saw these subjects as transformative in people’s lives and wanted to share that with students.” Fine and performing arts department head Todd Young said that knowing and spending time with Mr. Lallas was a special opportunity. “He was a really private person. It felt like a real privilege to get to know him, and to hear his stories,” he said.

Reconsider potential of nuclear power Skyler Bohnert Ever since the first atomic bomb was dropped in 1945 on Hiroshima at the end of World War II, the word “nuclear” has often been associated with images of death, destruction, and pain. The Cold War made the general public more wary of anything to do with nuclear energy, with the word commonly followed by “bomb.” Even today, with our developed understanding of nuclear and atomic energy, we still hear about the troubles surrounding nuclear weapons, which have caused nations to become extremely hostile towards each other over the mere thought of a nuclear bomb being used. However, as understanding of nuclear technology increases, so do the practical capabilities. It is hard to trust a of machine that uses nuclear power to improve our daily lives. Yet, it is obvious that we must stop fearing nuclear power and start using it for our own benefit. Nuclear energy would be most helpful in one category: global warming. A major factor contributing to the problem is the amount of carbon dioxide released when we use power in our daily lives. It is no secret that coal and other fossil fuels, while incredibly useful and common, play an important role in emitting dangerous amounts of carbon dioxide. The importance of nuclear reactors can be seen when compared to emissions by fossil fuels. For example, in 2011, nuclear power plants produced 73 million metric tons of carbon dioxide to generate 2,518 terawatt hours of electricity, according to the World Nuclear Association. To produce the same amount of electricity, the World Nuclear Association calculated that coal would by

emit 2,236 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, meaning that by using nuclear power, we saved 2,163 million metric tons, which is extremely beneficial when it comes to burning off carbon dioxide. Nuclear reactors are also much more active than other production plants. It is incredibly helpful that reactors are online 92 percent of the year while coal plants are online for only 59 percent, making reactors more reliable. This ensures places like hospitals and banks secure electricity supply year-round. A stable system of nuclear reactors that are active year-round is a great solution for clean energy, as they are online nearly all the time, supply people with power to run their daily lives, and limit the emissions produced by creating that very power. However, with this bonus of near-constant active reactors comes a downside. Perhaps the largest and most important factor contributing to the limit of nuclear reactors is the danger that comes with it. It is
column common knowledge that reactors are dangerous; Chernobyl and Fukushima are names not known for their lack of nuclear malfunctions. Anytime nuclear power is involved, the threat of a horrific accident increases. Because of the reliability of nuclear reactors being online most of the year, the chances of a malfunction also increase. The truth of the matter is that nuclear power is indeed dangerous and needs to be handled safely. However, other production plants are not exactly prime role models of safety. In Bhopal, India, industrial malfunction lead to the leakage of methyl isocyanate, which instantly kill 3,787 people and injured over 558,000 others. Henan, China was also home to a horrible accident that killed at least 26,000 people when dams at the plant failed to hold the nearby flooding river. Industrial accidents happen all the time, and nuclear reactors are no different. Nuclear power has the potential to overtake
fossil fuels and become a popular, clean, and cheap source of energy — if treated properly. Just like with any dangerous object, respect and care are needed to keep a reactor running, and with continued support of reactors, new methods can be invented to reduce the risk of a nuclear meltdown. Another negative is the cost of nuclear power. While it is indeed true that nuclear reactors are very expensive, with averages leaning towards the billions, the long-term costs of using nuclear energy are fairly reasonable, especially when compared to other fossil fuels. In a study done by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the total levelized cost of electricity from nuclear energy was approximately $96.20 per megawatt hour, which measures power consumption equal to 1,000 kilowatts for an hour. Coal, on the other hand, reaches at just over $130 per megawatt hour. When cities require massive amounts of energy to support their population, this difference in cost could save millions of dollars. The original building cost of the reactors is balanced out by the stream of money saved with nuclear energy. Countries have started to see nuclear power as an option, but many have turned away because of the reputation it has developed over the past several decades. Recently, the United States announced that a large portion of their reactor sites would be shutting down, due to a rise in fracking around the country. The high cost of reactors scares off investors, which might keep the U.S. from increasing its low-carbon energy sources. With global warming and the slow death of the planet just around the corner, new solutions need to be considered. For far too long, nuclear technology has been considered a symbol of death, destruction, and the end of the world. It’s time that nuclear power stops becoming something we associate with political tension and the slaughter of mankind, but rather as a tool that could be used to improve quality of life and help save Earth.
