Letter to the Editor to the Gainesville Sun

“Let’s do something fun!” Those were the words I heard when I turned away
momentarily from the riveting filibuster by Ben Sasse, our new University
of Florida (UF) president.  I returned for his amazing interaction with the
UF Board of Trustees.  He aced the orals, and truly deserves an honorary
Ph.D. for his performance.

The message came from a cartoon mother or teacher to cartoon children in a
poorly animated segment of children’s programming on WUFT-TV, the
university’s television station. Actually I must confess that I first
peeked at ABC-TV’s *The View*, because Sasse’s interview frankly was boring
and the students’ protest was limited.  The Trustees’ meeting was held
during prime classroom instruction hours and they already reported that the
faculty’s “no confidence” vote would not affect their unanimous decision,
once Sasse promised to be politically celibate.

Thanks to Cox Communications, I also talked briefly on the phone to a
caller about my Medicare options and then switched to the government
channel, so that I could find out the latest about one neighborhood’s
sewage problem at an Oct. 25, 2022, County Commission meeting.

So I may have missed Sasse’s response as to whether he is or ever was a
member….(200 words)
