It is the holiday period and the Sat Indy was rearranged for annual reviews etc. There is a thread on this on Derek Harrison’s Crossword Centre Message Board.

Was it a simple error or was it bumped out due to lack of space (despite the fact that there was a full page of “puzzles”, which was almost entirely given over to sudokus and their ilk)? If it was due to a lack of space then it is setting a worrying precedent.

Eimi has asked for it to appear on the Indy web site and to be printed some time next week.

Wil: There are other academic institutions in the world that still use the term polytechnic. Also, there’s at least one British university that calls itself a “polytechnic university”. However, when is not current old?

On this matter, I’d be interested know from some of our older, ahem, more experienced, setters when they first used old to to describe LSD terms.

Since no poly really exists now, wouldn’t “old college” be better?
