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.

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.
Carl Farner's Nome
Omitted from List
Among the youths from
Medford attending the sev
enth annual Junior Engineers
and Scientists Summer Insti
tute is Carl Fnrner, 1512 Ter
race dr. His name was Inad
vertently omitted from the
list supplied by Oregon State
university, Corvallis, where
the institute is being held.
The two-week course,
which is being attended by
1H0 selected high school boys
from seven stales, is designed
to give promising high school
boys an Insight into engineer
ing and science career oppor
tunities and study requirements.
YOUR DOLLARS BURN!
Thai's right, your dollars burn w hen forests
burn! Last'ycar people started more than
8.1,000 forest (ires one every 6 minutes,

Il cost more than $100,000,000 to control
these tires, and you hae lo pay. Add to ihis
the resource loss und the cost of rehabilita

bill is closer to half a billion dollars.
