If you have access to your college email address, you can get access to the New York Times “Select” articles from their archive without those pesky five-dolla charges.

Simply go here and submit your school-email address. An invite will be emailed to you with an activation link.

You’ll get free access to all those special articles stamped with the creamsicle TimesSelect logo, and access up to 100 articles a month from the archive. Neat!

However, it seems they’re screening out alumni addresses. Poop. — BEN POPKEN
