We study the possibility of the existence of
a  Katona type proof for the
Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem for 2- and 3-intersecting families of sets.
 An Erd\H os-Ko-Rado type
theorem for 2-intersecting  integer arithmetic progressions and a model
theoretic argument show that such an approach works in the 2-intersecting
case, at least for some values of $n$ and $k$.
