Students at Durham University are angry at plans which could see them have to get up an hour earlier for lectures.
A big increase in student numbers at the elite university means business and law undergraduates may have to attend lectures from 08:00 from September.
The university said the move would be a temporary measure while additional lecture space was being built.
University students union president Megan Croll said: "It's also not just a question of losing out on sleep and other activities, there also has to be some thought about students who will be walking to lectures in the dark. There's a question of safety as well."

AAAh diddums. When I was a student, I worked in the mines on the night shift, then studied at university, then waited in a restaurant before my shift in the mines. Never mind getting up, I hardly ever went to bed!!

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our Mam would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.
But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe you! |

Mr Torque- Sulphuric acid- you were lucky, we couldn't afford it. I had to go around all the rat traps in the village to get rat poison to make the fetid rainwater from the drains taste better.
