Creighton receives distinguished guests Through the Visiting Scholar and Concert Series, Creighton was once again host to a number of eminent persons. Each one has been distinguish- ed for excellence in his chosen field, and two of them, Gerald Moore and John Akar, have been decorated by Queen Elizabeth II with the Order of The British Empire. Akar, is director of the Sierra Leone Broadcasting Service for West Africa and Moore, a pianist, has accompanied such artists as Casals, Chaliapin and Schumann. Nathan Twining, who has been called the fastest rising young pian- ist in America, also appeared in concert. Anrdea Bedami, a folk-pop artist, was one of the first to exhibit his works in the Fine Arts build- ing. Bedami ,was described as by far the best painter in the Omaha area by Tom Bartek, art in- structor and former exhibition director at the Joslyn museum.
