This year’s Northern Eclecta staff is geared up and ready to start work on the 2010 issue of NDSU’s sole, undergraduate literary magizine.  The English classes 213, 313, and 413 are the forces behind this publication, now on its fourth volume.  If you are one of the many talented students at NDSU who would like to get your fiction, poetry, artwork, photograpgy, and the like published, keep checking out this website for updates.  A call for submissions will soon be coming — check your e-mail, take notice of the posters around campus, and tell your friends.
