Auburn, though, is nearly as
potent on offense and has New­
ton, the multitalented quarter­
back who overcame a pay-for-
play plot by his father to run
away with college football's
most prestigious individual
award.
It's also a bigger a stage than
the Ducks have ever been on
before.

Oregon has been in the na­
tional spotlight before, just last
season in the Rose Bowl against
Ohio State. But the Ducks lost
that game and this one has an
even brighter glow, with media
from around the country de­
scending on the desert and an
entire nation of football fans
watching every their every
move.
To avoid his players think­
ing about the weight o f trying
to win the program 's first na­
tional title and potential dis­
tractions in a w inter vacation
destination, Kelly and the
coaching staff outlined a d e­
tailed schedule almost im m e­
diately after earning the title-
game bid.
The preparations end on
Monday, with everyone watch­
ing and everything on the line.

Minimum Wage Up 10
Cents with New Year
Oregon's lowest-paid work­
ers got a small boost with the
start of the New Y ear, when the
state's minimum hourly wage
rose by 10 cents to $8.50.
The increase means that a
full-time worker earning the
minimum wage will earn $208
more in 2011, according to
Chuck Sheketoff, executive di­
rector of the Oregon Center for
Public Policy.
“A strong minimum wage is
good for low-wage workers and
good for Oregon's economy,"
said Sheketoff.
S heketoff noted that stud­
ies have found that m inim um
w age raises have no adverse
im pact on jo b creation and
that households with minimum
wage earners increase their
spending when the m inim um
wage goes up.
The increase is the result of a
voter-approved ballot measure.
The 8-year-old law first in­
creased the state's minimum
wage to $6.90 and allowed it to
rise annually thereafter to keep
up with inflation.
t
M inimum wage workers
went without an increase in
2010 under the formula.
