Court ends UP&L quest for CRSP After 15 years of hard work Jana Rampton reached her lifelong ambition of graduating from BYU. She was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree in Family Science on April "I can't believe I really did it," she tells her many friends. "This is something I have wanted since I was in fourth grade. After getting married and having the responsibility of taking care of four small children, I thought my college ambitions would have to be postponed for many years or forgotten completely." Jana inOver the years, attended Ricks College, termittently BYU, University of Utah and back to BYU enough to attain credits to be classified as a senior. But it was not until a 1985 letter from BYU saying many of the past earned credits would be lost unless she graduated by 1988, that Jana decided that it had to be now or never. Asking for support from her family and friends, Jana returned to school on a part time basis to pick up the remaining credits needed to The caucuses mark the first step the election process.

She did not think she would make it through some of those general ed classes that had been put off for so many years. But the efforts paid off. By the end of 1986 winter semester she could see she was going to make it. "I owe a big thanks to those who've supported me," Jana said with a big smile as she walked through BYU's Marriott Center Friday with a new diploma in hand. Jana plans to use her new credentials to better serve the community by helping, through volunteer work, in the PTA and other activities. y "We're extremely pleased with the outcome of the lawsuit." McNeil continued. "We have always been confident that the law was on our side, but it's reassuring to know that the court has validated our position." Judge Greene's decision follows a protracted battle between UP&L and Utah's 43 public power utilities in which UP&L challenged the constitutionality of federal power marketing laws and policies. UP&L's challenge sought to overturn what is known as the preference principle.' 'Preference' refers to the body of Congressional law and administrative policies that give first priority, or 'preference.' lo consumer owned, nonprofit electric utilities in the purchase of federal power. Consumers may become eligible for federal power by forming their own nonprofit electric utilities. For Washington City in instance, southwest Utah, is the state's newest public power utility. In return for having first call on federally generated power, consuelectric utilities agree mer-owned to repay the federal investment in the power generating facilities, with interest, and also bear the cost of operation and maintenance of the projects and repay the majority of the cost of the projects' irrigation features. McNeil said UP&L's claim to federal hydropower is a little like the story of the Little Red Hen.

"We're thankful the public interest has prevailed again in this case," McNeil said. The decision, she said, will be hailed enthusiastically by nearly one thousand public power utilities throughout the U.S., including Lehi City, that were involved in the lawsuit as "friends of the court."
