Focus Testing Reveals Students Want Colonial Cash System Made as Complicated as Possible


WASHINGTON - According to a report published Tuesday, administrators at George Washington University enacted the sweeping changes to the student meal plan system as a result of extensive complaints from focus groups of students that the previous system was too simple and needed to generally make less sense overall.

"We were totally cool leaving everything as it was," explained Francis Till, a representative of the University's office of food and dining services. "But the students clearly wanted things arbitrarily divided up into more strange categories so as to leave them guessing when they first try out their GWorld card at a new place for the first time this coming semester."

"It's just very exciting, I think," said one of the focus group participants, sophomore Polly Webb. "I hated knowing everything was available to me in one clear grouping, and I just wanted it segregated apart so that I wouldn't have as much easy access to the important retail services I had grown accustomed to."

Testing also found that students absolutely needed the coffee shop in the J-Street dining area closed down as quickly as possible, as there was clearly no demand for that as evidenced by the constant overlong line stretching around the corner of the cafeteria.

"It'll be nice that the Gelman Starbucks location will now have even more business," Till said in a press conference. "It's not like there's ever been a problem with the lines in there."
