Judging a Student Newspaper by Its Crossword

So at the University of Waterloo, there is a student newspaper known as Imprint. I read it to stay afloat of the latest happenings at this fair school. It is terrible. To tell you how terrible, I will provide select examples from the crossword puzzle for the issue dated Friday, June 13, 2008 and credited to the editor-in-chief. I view this as a microcosm of her editing abilities at large.

Across
1. Opposed to (suffix) Answer: ANTI
Issue: Clearly a prefix.
18. Abbreviation of stenographer Answer: STENO
Issue: This is just insulting. "Can you abbrev. this word? Good job!"
19. Major or minor, of the beer variety Answer: URSA
Issue: Let's misspell the most important word in the clue, the one that is literally latin for the answer.
47. To remove the mythical element from Answer: DEMYTHOLOGISE
Issue: Again an insult. "Take this word we give you and make it the opposite. No not 'un-'..."

Down
1. A tank of gas might soon cost you this Answer: ARM
Issue: This is not Cockney Rhyming Slang, you can't use half an expression. Otherwise, it's not an expression, it's just dumb.
2. Something wanted or required Answer: NEED
Issue: Something required? Yes. Something wanted? No. Those are opposites.
13. Parent-Teacher Association Answer: PTA
Issue: Insult #3. Acronym these words.
25. Rocky is one nickname for this, meaning "rest" Answer: ROCCO
Issue: The Internet doesn't know where you get off.
26. Opposite of "same" Answer: OTHER
Issue: Other and different are not synonymous.
31. One who eases Answer: EASER
Issue: Insult #4.
35. Tiniest Answer: TEENSIEST
Issue: I thought we were using real words, not the marketing style guide for My Little Pony.
50. No Clue Answer: OTIS
Issue: I guess this clue is suppose to imply the EIC has no clue either. The Internet (the internet for god's sake, that repository of all human knowledge) has no entry for "otis."


But Justin, you say, editing is a really hard job. Shut up. Having professional experience as an editor, it is the most obsessive-compulsive undertaking I've ever done. Plus, this is a summer issue, meaning it is biweekly, not weekly.


BONUS ERROR: The photo captions on the last page (pg.24) confuse left and right.
