s 10 A MONDAY. JUNE 25. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON Oregon's Dorjahn To Study In Magburaka, Sierra Leone Eugene One of the major problems of the emerging Af rican nations the move ment of people from country to city with the resulting dis ruption of the old social and family patterns will be studied during the coming year by a University of Ore gon anthrpologist. Dr. Vernon R. Dorpahn, as sociate professor of Anthro pology, will leave in early July for Sierra Leone to study the growing urbanism in this new West African nation. He will be accompanied by his wife and 21'i-year-old daugh ter. The study is being support ed by a $27,900 grant from the National Science founda tion. Acting as research assist ant for the project will be Fuad Khuri, university grad uate student from Lebanon. Study Magburaka Dr. Dorjahn will study the town of Magburaka, a non industrialized urban center in the Sierra Leone uplands. The town, a trading, medical, ed ucational, and administrative center for the surrounding rural area, has doubled in size within the last five yean, Its population of 5,000 to 10,- 000 is made up mainly of Temne, members of one of the two largest tribes in the coun try. In 1954-5S, as a National Science foundation postdoctor al fellow,, Dr. Dorjahn made a study of the population and culture of a rural Temne chiefdom some 15 miles from Magburaka. "Some of these people whom I studied have now mi grated to Magburaka," Dr. Dorjahn pointed out. "I want to find out how these rural migrants have adapted to ur ban life and how and why these adaptations occurred. In a broader sense, I want to analyze the processes of ur banization in an African town having little or no Industrial ization." In doing this, Dr. Dorjahn plans to describe the popula tion and patterns of life in Magburaka,' study the social relations between the town and the surrounding rural area, and compare the rural and urban population struc tures. Use Census The study will begin with a 100 per cent census of the town from which the anthro pologist will gain basic popu lation and social data. This will be followed by intensive interviewing, sample surveys, attitude polls, and the collec tion of life histories. "Many problems in modern West Africa grow out of the migration of rural people to the towns, Dr. Dorjahn said "They are' illiterate and un trained and often cannot get jobs. They are usually young people rebelling against the authority of their kin groups. They are modern, men, who do not want to live under the authority of the old chieftains and the village secret socie ties. Tribal authority is break ing down in the cities, and usually few new controls have grown up to take its place." One substitute for tribal au thority that has developed in the city, he said, is a group of new societies with borrow ings from the old secret soci eties, Moslem religious organ izations, and Christian church groups. Discontents Migrate "Although tribal authority may break down in the rural areas eventually," the anthro pologist said, "at the present time, it is still strong. The discontented ones are leaving the villages and moving to town. They are not, as yet, trying to change the villages." This increasing urbaniza tion has disrupted the old kin ship patterns also, Dr. Dor jahn said. The extended fam ily is beginning to lose its hold over individuals, and the nuclear family of man, wife explained. "This has caused and children is gaining in im portance. This is putting new pressures on the husband-and wile relationship, he added. The introduction of money and the gradual replacement of the old barter system are other factors working toward the breakdown of traditional kinship patterns, he said, and have brought about changed attitudes toward work and communal sharing. "Now when a man gets hold of a little money, he wants to spend it on himself, rather than honor the traditional ob ligations of taking care of his kin group," Dr. Dorjahn some disruption between the generations. The continued ex pansion of industry helps break up the kinship patterns, too, since most men do not have enough money to expand their businesses and lake care of their relatives at the same time." Independent Sierra Leone has done "rea sonably well" in governing it self since it became an inde pendent nation a little more than a year ago, Dr. Dorjahn believes. It was granted its freedom April 27, 1961, after almost 175 years as a British colony and protectorate. "It is quiet politically, and it is better off than most Af rican nations, although it will never be a rich country," Dr. Dorjahn observed. The assistance of graduate student Fuad Khuri will be very valuable in the study, Dr. Dorjahn noted, because a substantial number of Leb anese live in Sierra Leone and control much of its trade and commerce. "We hope to find out more about their businesses and the tensions that have grown up between the Lebanese and the Africans as a result of this commercial dominance," Dr. Dorjahn said.

(UPI) Voting Membership on Library Board Sought The question of whether Jackson county should have voting representatives on the board of directors for the Pub lic Library of Medford and Jackson County is being ap proached from two sides. The library board is ap pointing a committee to study the question of city-county re lations with the library. Two members appointed so far are Robert Hcffcrnan, Medford at torney, and Richard Travis, a library board member. County Judge Earl Miller said as chairman of the urban affairs committee of the Asso ciation of Oregon Counties, he will press for legislative pro posals to change the present law which does not permit vot ing representation from the county. Makes Same Proposal Miller said he had made the same proposal during a meet ing of the urban affairs com mittee last Oct. 28, but it was not acted upon. Members of the Jackson county budget committee have insisted that the county have voting representation on the . board since the county makes a larger contribution to the overall library budget than the city of Medford. The county has five representa tives acting in an advisory capacity only. The city has five voting members. The county representatives have equal opportunities to voice their opinions and they are considered, Ornur Bacon, librarian said, although they do not have a vote.
