It never hurts to try. Check out the faculty website for the area you're interested in. Find out if anyone is recruiting grad students and ask them if they could use an undergrad. Lots of professors will hire undergrads to work in their lab over the summer. Also, try asking your instructors whether they know anyone at the university who might have an opening. Grad school is like entering a medieval guild apprenticeship. The main reason a master would take on apprentices is that they're cheaper than an equivalently motivated and skilled individual. So, your goal is to convince potential supervisors that you're motivated and skilled. The specific research doesn't matter so much as getting a good recommendation.
