CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) _ The president of Southeast Missouri State University
is apologizing after he was captured on video drinking from a beer bong at a
tailgate party.
The Southeast Missourian reports president Carlos Vargas-Aburto said in an email that it was a “poor decision” to accept the drink before Southeast’s Sept. 15ht football game at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. Video of students cheering and filming as he chugged from the funnel was posted to Twitter.
Beer bongs are normally associated with excessive or binge drinking, which
Vargas-Aburto says he doesn’t condone. He says he’s “not proud of” his actions
and described what he did as “not flattering.”
Board of Regents president Donald LaFerla said in a statement what happened was a “lapse in judgment” but that it doesn’t define Vargas-Aburto.
