What an ingenious idea. Perhaps that wasn't what Benjamin Franklin had in mind when he proposed the idea of daylight-saving time in a whimsical essay back in 1784, but to many EMU students, an extra hour means catching up on much needed sleep after dealing with the stresses of everyday college life. For example, mid-terms. The proposition of daylight-saving time actually received opposition and was a subject of controversy before it was put into effect in 1967. Farmers argued that their schedules would have to be completely altered, and other businesses, such as railroad, bus, and plane stations would have to rework their scheduling times.
Students tend to take another perspective.
The only real inconvenience about this observation is actually figuring out how to change the time on such devices as alarm clocks, VCRs, and car radios. It's amazing how much things have changed within the last 30 or 40 years. The US Congress established the Uniform Time Act in 1966 stipulating that, beginning in 1967, daylight-saving time would begin at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of April and end at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October. When the clocks are turned ahead in April, past situations confirm that students tend to be late for class claiming that they forgot to set their clocks to the right time. Interesting question, but the answer is probably no.
