XLV—NO 16 © Trustees of Bryn Muwr College, 1960 PRICE 20 CENTS Mr. Sahwell Vi __ Discusses Existing Deadlock “In the interests of peace and stability France is under a moral, over and above her legal, obliga- tion to ‘pull out of North Africa.” With this statement Aziz S. Sah- well, Chief of the Research Sec- tion of Arab States Delegation Ovf- fice, concluded his discussion of the Algerian situation, in the Com- mon Room of Goodhart, 7:30 p.m., March 7, Mr. Sahwell began by providing his listeners with statistical data concerning Algeria. It is an Arab country occupying 847,000 square miles, inhabited by 11,000,000 Al- gerians and 85,000 Europeans. Originally ruled by Benbers, it was conquered by the Arabs in the 7th century and was there- after incorporated in the Ottoman Empire. On June 14, 1830, French troops landed in Algeria, defeat- ed by the Arabs, and annexed the territory as a French colony. Along with the forceful annex- ation of Algeria has come a col- onial suppression of Arabic cul- ture. ‘The Arabic language has been neglected and the practice ofthe Moslem—religion—has—been interfered with, as witnessed iby the fact that there were 106 mos- ques in Algeria in 1880 and now there are only eight. A national resistance movement to colonial rule was not organized until 1928, and was dissolved by the French only 14 years later, in 1987. For many years uprisings were staged, the National Liber- ation Frant was organized by the indigenous Algerians, an army was formed, and the present Al- —e | e Election Notice President of Self-Gov.

Mr. Murray Friedman of the American Jewish Committee of Mr. James Mullen, Associate Professor of Economics at Temple University, and Mr. Thomas Sanders of the Depart- ment of Religious Studies, pre- sented, respectively, the Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant views on interreligious tensions and . their causes and remedies in our demo- cratic society. The humanist Mr. Algernon Black txpressed his view that the discussed interreligious tensions need not exist; instead, “Our American spiritual life needs something that goes beyond spirit- ual differences.” This spiritual life, he said, can be attained without adherence to any organized religi- ous belief. In this statement. he was expressing the viewpoint of the Ethical Culture Scoiety, which he is a member.

Speaker Presents Two Likely Ideas ~iFor Cancer Cause Mrs. Francisco MDuran-Reynals of the Rutgers Institute of Micro- biology discussed the different theories dealing with the causes of cancer on Wednesday, March 1, in a lecture sponsored by the Science Club. Mrs. Duran-Reynals stated that, although cancer as a dis- ease presents an interesting prob- lem, her concern lies in cancer as a biological phenomenon. Accord- ing to the speaker, the two main theories held today are the so- matic and the virus theories of cancer. The first theory holds that one cell becomes infected and begins to multiply at an abnormally rapid rate, destroying the healthy cells around it in the process. Some think that the single cell is embryonic and undifferentiated. Others believe that it is a cell which, somehow removed from its normal environment and _isolat- ed in an adiverse one, reacts by multiplying im this fashion. In 1908 Borrel, a French sci- entist, stated that cancer is caus- ed by a virus. He based his the- ovy on investigation of the benign multiplication caused by the pox viruses. Viruses cannot survive on the surface of a tissue, but must be within living matter. In smallpox, for example, the cells, by their multiplication, form a growth which rises to the surface, Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 Editorial Comments Sunday Legislature Approves Provisions for Emerging from the tangle of parliamentary procedure at Sun- day’s Emergency Legislature was a clear-cut resolution of the prob- lem of write-in votes. Unfortun- ately, the meeting’s Executive Board planners seemed somewhat frazzled by their three-day hassle with the issues involved, and Leg- islature could give only a vague indication of the excitement which had generated it. Action to clarify the legality of the Write-In was given official im- petus at Thursday night’s regular meeting of the Executive Board when members were confronted with a report of existing campus of | interest in the write-in and asked to formulate a policy regarding its legality.

On Friday the Board reconven- ed, its problem somewhat clarified by information gathered from the National Student Association (NSA) regarding the nature of the suddenly baffling Write-in.

Evelyn; Adler, Karen Carlson, French Poet Talks e 9 e On Rimbaud’s Life Arthur Rimbaud was one of the first of the modern French poets to use poetry as a means and not as an end in itself, M. Yves Bon- nefoy explained in his lecture, “Rimbaud et la Poésie Contem- poraine,” Thursday. evening in the Ely Room. M. Bonnefoy is himself considered one of the most original French poets today. He has -received—the Prix da la—Nou- velle Vogue for his poetry and is well known for his translations of Shakespeare. At present, M. Bonnefoy is preparing a— book about Rimbaud. The poet, Arthur Rimbaud, was born in the French province of Ardennes in 1854. His unhappy childhood led him to the great re- bellion which is evident through- out his poetry. In fact, according to M. Bonnefoy, Rimbaud’s great- ness lay in his ability to realize his. potential in spite of the cir- cumstances in which he found him- self. Rimbaud’s revolt was directed against three interrelated forces: provincial life, his mother, and the Christianity of his time. He com- plained that life in the country led only to death. There were no Continued on Page 6, Col. 2 Protestant Music Inspires Contrast In his fourth Flexner lecture, Mr. Lang followed the devleop- ment of music, particularly in Gemany, through the Reformation and Baroque periods. Baroque music has its roots in the resurgent and militant . old church which, when it realized that Protestants could not be put down, tried to win them back through Jesuit eloquence and artistic splen- dour. Italian musicians, ‘who spread fhrough Europe, imposed their own language and style on the rest of the world, often set- tling in foreign countries to found a national style. Composers such as Schutz remained Protestant, but their music is unthinkable without the Italian Baroque. What made this music Protes- tant not Catholic, sacred not sec- ular? Mr, Lang said he did not know. They are all first cousins. There is too much sanctimonious nonsense about it. Cantatas in- clude belleanta pieces which are no different, technically speaking, from an operatic aria. The differ- ence must be the spirit in which the music is offered.

At present, Maria Buse plans to continue study in Geology, her major subject, at Berkeley in Cal- ifornia. Susan Downey will. prob- ably do further work in the classics at Yale. Joanme Field, whose major is English, has also received a Fulbright to Oxford and has to decide which award she will accept. Sheila Gopen hopes to continue work in Econ- omics at Columbia University. The choice of the university where study will be continued does not have to be definitely de- cided until May and so the plans of these eight girls are still ten- tative.

College Thespians Present ‘Merchant’ Bryn Mawr College Theatre and Haverford Drama Club_ will present The Merchant of Venice on March 11 and 12, at 8:30 in Goodhart as their first venture in a long time of one of Shakes- peare’s ‘big’ plays. The group tra- ditionally presents one Shakes- pearean play a year but has usu- ally done more obscure ones such as King John and Measure for Measure, The reason for this is that most of the dramatic trage- dies demand an actor with fantas- tic ability to be done well, and the popular comedies are done too often. “This year,” says Nina Broekhuysen, College Theatre President, “we decided to do Mer- chant because it is a good play both dramatically and poetically, and does not need one excellent leading actor.” ‘A Robert Butman will direct with the assistance of Ginny O’Roak. Mr. Butman does not adhere to the modern interpretation of Shy- lock as a tragic hero, but rather insists upon a compromise be- tween the Elizabethan interpre- tation which made him a complete villian and the modern one; in oth- er words, Butman’s Shylock will be as much as possible “straight Shakespeare.” Shylock, Butman feels, represents materialism and in this sense is the force of evil in the play; this moral thesis, he believes, must be brought out.

A Lesson Sans Texts We learned a lot in Bryn Mawr between Thursday and last Sunday afternoon, and not all of it in Taylor Hall, or the library. We learned about legal rights, constitutional pro- visions, political processes and parliamentary pressures in a| lesson a good deal more graphic than any in a pol-theory text book. Whether it be right or wrong to write-in and, if right,, whether it is better to be right than stable was the question; the method of first resolving it and then attaining the preferred solution proved more important than the still controversial answer. A lot of good thinking went into the three Executive Board meetings preceding Legislature. The immediacy of the situation at the Saturday session demanded clear syn- _ theses of the principles. and platitudes expressed earlier, and these were given with an astonishing degree of ease and clarity, while the marked partisanship of the participants evoked not heated ravings but a delightfully keen vigilance to_ legal technicalities and logical deduction.- The situation called forth heretofore dormant talents in some and provid- ed others with a real sense of political participation ; that the qualities it evoked were not carried over in toto into Legis- lature and that the student body itself got only the last Mes od ripples of the excitement is alone somewhat unfor- unate.

The museum has ranged the prints according to the more or less indeterminate categories of Abstractionism, Symbolism, Ex- pressionism, and Realism. Beyond these groupings, the arrangement helpfully points up a distinction between prints of formal and emo- tional emphasis. Understanding and appreciation is simplified by the knowlédge that some works are meant to be specifically of for- mal interest. The viewer is spar- ed the frustration of looking for hidden meanings. The prints of emotional emphasis are success- ful in communicating the feelings intended. Two contrasting alcoves of prints. described in the museum circular as representing the “New Image of Man” form part of the exhibition. ‘One of these is devot- ed to the “Terror of the Situation” and the other to “Benign Images.” The images of terror are prin- cipally concerned with protray- ing the distortion of the human be- ing and the cold, inhuman aspects of the modern world. A_ black and white lithograph on a man- ila background by Graham Suther- land entitled “Predatory Form II” is one of the most interesting of these. (It represents an abstract form composed of elements such as tusks and bones which the hu- tic. by Alison Baker The question of expansion is on the collective mind of the Hav- Haverford Spreads Humor; Comet Cruises To Victory fruitful one.

Critical Audience The freshmen had a disadvan- tage in their yet cool audience, which was often slow in picking up the more intricate allusions of the dialogue and critical in ac- cepting those less so. (Were it not for a slight lack of polish and some hesitancy in acting, owing, I think, to the fact that most of the characters -weren’t clearly enough defined in their lines, the freshmen show could nell be rank- ed with the best of Class Night. In any case, the move away from immediate campus concerns and Continued on Page 4, Col. 5 personalities was a welcome and approached through rather than realism. The acting was excellent, the characters well- ‘drawn if overly mormal, and the dialogue convincingly colloquial. Nevertheless, the play as a whole was too loosely drawn together and too closely restricted to abso- lute imitative realism to hold an audience. Sentimental Sincerity The moral lesson didn’t ‘move, had no real development through the play, and although I was kept listening and looking in an. ultim- ately vain hope of catching the message, the action itself hung uncomfortably between humor and vulnerable sincerity. This sin- | cerity is too dangerously senti- mental, I think, for any but an extraordinarily skillful writer to be able to cope with it.

The answer seems fairly simple. The qualities evoked were: the result of a genuine interest in the outcome of the issue. The interest was a consequence of the belief that the issue was in some way important, and the issue was impor- tant only because it arose naturally and would have a per- ceivable effect. Interest was real because the issue was real, and from the interest stemmed the value of the experience. Had Undergrad decided (as organizations are prone to do) that the campus needed stirring and contrived the issue to fit they would probably have met with little success. This weekend we learned a lot of things. Perhaps one of them is that interest and excitement. for their own sake are an illusion and a campus not seething with Organiza- tional interest is not to be disparaged. The student body does not necesasrily need “shaking up.” When there’s some- thing to be excited about it manages to rise gloriously to the occasion. Dormitory Ideas Gathered Most people on campus _ are q@ware that plans are in order for building a new dormitory on cam- pus, but many do not know what definite steps are beimg taken. To find out exactly what students here want and what students in other colleges have found satisfactory, two measures have been taken: a poll of student wishes has been taken by Undergrad, and an ad- ministrative committee has visit- ed other colleges. The tally of the poll = not yet been completed, but the college tours have proved successful, The first, taken during the examina- tion period by Mrs. Marshall, Miss Howe, and Mrs. Delanoy of the Board of Trustees, was to the South to Hollins, Sweet Briar, and Goucher. The second trip, taken on the week before last by the same ocm- mittee plus Anne Marie Cusmano representing the students, was to New England where Jackson, Wheaton, Brandeis, and Pembroke were visited, Many points were considered in. looking gg these ‘built-in furniture, and so on. It was found that the highest ratio of -singles to doubles.-was- 50-50. At Bryn Mawr it is 80-20. Built- in furniture ranged from having everything built in to having no permanent furniture. Miss Howe feels that to much permanent fur- niture gives inflexibility, but the dressers and book shelves might be fixed. The committee also looked to see how many suggestions made by Bryn Mawr students were working out. ‘Connecting singles which can be turned into suites are satisfactory when used as suites, but as singles the noise heard through the door is ‘trouble- some. Where colleges have smok- ers on every floor, students tend to remain with the people on their own corridors, Another trip is being planned Swarthmore, and the Moore In- stitute of Art.

Earlier this. weekend, there had been the real- ization that nowhere in the constitution was there provision for the counting of write-in ballots, We will not go into the reason for Executive Board’s discussion of the matter, be it rumor, discontent at the grass roots level, or a tempest in a teapot (how Bryn Mawr). It attempted to avoid the com- plications inherent in a change of procedure at this time by declaring write-in votes invalid. They were acting in good faith. There was nothing on the books concerning this matter (as a matter of fact, there were no books), and they wanted to avoid a situation for which there was no constitu- tional provision.._._This was the case, despite the fact that a committee had been appointed express- ly far the punpose of revising the constitution of the Undergraduate Association. Next step:a poor- ly worded, narrow petition was circulated to demand a meeting of Legislature.

It is to many facets of this meeting that we object: 1) to the inattention /of. the participants.

Criticism does not flourish in a time of greator healthy poetry.” Faculty members concerned with poetry and criticism expressed their views on Shapiro’s controversial stand. Nahm Considers Role Of Criticism theolgical and philisophical beliefs held at the time. The artist did not have to invent symbols. His audience was familiar with them ‘Mrs. MacCaffrey otes ‘Obscurity’ ward villages and in the modern, luxurious African cities in a pro- gram Jan quoted a veteran as tic.” The diversity of the pro- gram in store for her requires her to bring “everything from work’ boots to formals.” Good Digestion Demanded The participants range in age and experience from high school to graduate students; they come from the United States, Canada and England.. The largest group is from Yale; it consists of 14 stu- dents. The applicants had to go through an intensive screening program. Aside from assuring the executive director, Phillip Wei, that she has a good digestive system and has never had stomach trouble, Jan and the others also had ex- tensive applications to fill out. She still has not completed her tasks; a 15-20 page paper is due on some phase of African relations. Feels Like Pioneering Jan, an Anthropology-Sociology major especially interested in her courses.on cultural anthropology and social welfare, feels that she will end up going to Africa again after her school days are over; “things are happening so fast there and I feel like pioneering.” The three-month trip will involve a condensation in time, but not degree of this excitement. A meeting at Columbia Uni- versity in June dor the partici- pants will be an intensive session in informing them on all the im- portant phases of African life by sentatives, and scholars who will guide the activities. The group will then split in two; one group will fly to London, the other to will be further briefing by the British and French consuls. Both groups wil] then leave for Africa. The travellers will go in groups of ten or twelve to villages in the particular areas that they have selected. Jan is headed for Nigeria.

Jan was warned by the charter members of a few things; not to make any promises to the natives for which she might be indebted to them for life, and to expect gifts from their chiefs. One chief merited more than the ordinary food and beads; he gave them bottles of prize whiskey. Among these tribes, the highest form of compliment in one’s work consists of a man’s offering his old wife to aid in the task, Jan’s friends told her. They themselves were once approached by one such old woman as they undertook the back-breaking task of laying pipes “Tt doesn’t follow that because art must be taught,. it is sick,” stated Mr. Nahm when asked his opinion: of Mr. Shapiro’s contro- versial statements. “Isn’t the kind of art produced a product of the age?” he asked. “Isn’t the fact that it must be taught a comment on our times which are so concerned with highly abstract terms and such a complex view of the world? Present times have produced the ‘Modernism’; the times have also produced tht crit- icism, Both are an expression of the same wenplexing problems that we face. Modernism is only one aspect of the general situa- tion, “Shapiro seems to say that, basically, criticism and poetry are separate arts—arts that are mutually exclusive. However, I believe that wherever you find poetry you find criticism as well. Criticism and poetry flourish because of a common background that poet and audience shared. “The world is so complex to- day that art is subsequently so. Many find it difficult to interpret symbolism today because of the lack of common background. One can’t go back to the time of com- mon symbols. Either the artist today offers his own symbolism or expresses symbols of science or mathematics, The poet and critic may also have been misused. The common symbols of art today may exist in the form rather than in the content of specific works.

The predilection in present per- plexed times’ is for significance and meaning and solution to con- temporary problems. Ewen if this is emphasized in the poetry that is being written, Mr. Shapiro sure- ly has abstracted that aspect from the genuine stylistic and expres- sionistic contribution these people have made. “He has a just right, however, to criticize some aspects of con- temporary poetry. There are, for instance, some poets who speak in philosophical terms without having completely transformed their theories into poetry. “The poets, painters, and sculp- tors of the Renaissance had com- mon symbols derived from the pipes and the girls ran nursery schools for the children, the men of the tribe sat around and watch- ed the strange Americans. Adter the momth’s residence in the villages, the group will meet to tour the West African area. It will visit the seats of govern- ment, the universities, cultural centers, and so forth.

In writing about them ‘he uses the word ‘masterpiece’, or its equivalent, in spite of himself. If you acknowledge masterpieces, why not be grateful? Give poetry all her right; she’s not to be form- tied. “Generally he doesn’t pay enough attention to whether Eliot wrote good poetry. He seems to want all poetry to be like one or anoth- er of a very few models, These models—/Whitman, Blake, Frost, Lawrence and Thomas—all have something in common: slightly bucolic, prophetic. In, insisting on one style, Shapiro is ignoring a dazzling amount of good poetry.” Mr. Lattimore denied Shapiro’s Continued on Page 4, Col. 2 Miss Woodworth Contradicts Critic. “When Mr. Shapiro makes the statement that an art that must be taught is sick, he is suffering from a complete misunderstand- ing of art,” stated Miss. Wodd- worth when approached on this subject. “Poetry is an art and art is never simple. To understand any great art, it is necessary to discipline yourself. An objective understanding comes only after long training and a cultivation of taste. As far as the expression a ‘contemporary art’ is concerned most artists are at least 50 years ahead of the people.” In commenting on Mr. Shapiro’s statement that criticism doesn’t exist in a time of great or healthy poetry, Miss Woodworth said that history just doesn’t bear this out. ual Eliot poems is at times very: commenting on GShapiro’s statement that “an art which must be taught to adults in its own time is sick,” Mrs. MacCaffrey said that it is true that in the past ed- ucation dealt with the literature of previous ages: people didn’t usually study the poetry of their own time, But in pursuing the classical curriculum, they learned to read difficult poetry. We have to teach all poetry nowadays be- cause people do not learn how to read carefully, They are not ac- |customed to reading poetry. For- merly, the people who read Mil- ton had read Virgil. Concerning the comment that “criticism is a branch of philos- ophy and in rare moments a liter- ary art. In our time it is neither,” ‘Mrs. MacCaffrey went on to state that she did not feel that criticism is am art, although sometimes it may share certain attributes of art (for example, Sidney’s Defense of Poesie). In our time some crities are try- ing to make criticism a_ science (an example, perhaps, is Kenneth Burke). People are interested in seeing how the minds of their fel- lows work, and the study of poet- ry. is one method of doing this. In considering modern critics and comparing them with those of the past, however, we must remember that only the best of the past has come down to us. It is true that many contemporary critics are poets, but it is also true that many great critics of the past have been poets: Arnold, Dryden, Sidney, Coleridge. Poetry reflects the whole intel- tellectual activity of an age. In an effort to revitalize the medium, poets employ different uses of the language. This may bring about some distortion and therefore “ob- security.” But Mr. Shapiro has vastly oversimplified the problem in his article. Not all the poetry of our time is obscure, and the ob- scurity which exists might be seen as part of.a cycle in the history of literature, a cycle which has mov- ed repeatedly from complexity to simplicity and back. “Finally, who is to be the judge of obscurity? Even newspaper poets are obscure to some readers, e _ Notice Bryn Mawr’s Debate Club will send a team of four to Brooklyn College March 11 and 12.

In the Siciliano, the flute carried a lovely, swirling melody. The final . allegro was a devilish one, full of swift interchanges of flute and piano which left the flutist breathless from exertion and the audience in a similar state from admiration. Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet (the third and fourth movements) was just lovely, done by Joan Gettig and Renata Knoke, violins, Ellen Magaziner, viola, Marion Davis, ’cello, and Nina Greenberg, clar- inet. The music was somehow suggestive of a spring afternoon in a park, especially the delight- ful melody of the clarinet bounc- ing up from the lower register.

A plan is in progress to ex- tend the library underground to connect the main stacks with the stacks in the West Wing. Overcrowding the library has long been a problem. Mr. Charles David, formerly Professor of His- tory here and later librarian at the University of Pennsylvania, was the first to suggest the solu- tion of building underground, as there is no land adjacent to the main building suitable for this purpose. Mr. Douglas Orr, an ar- chitect in New Haven, suggested that it would be possible to build two floors underground.

Great poetry is cre- ated through the capacity of man to express his individual thoughts in a way that is communicable. This becomes more and more diffi- cult“ as language becomes more abstract and complex. “There is a challenge to the critic to make criticis;n into an art that makes art intelligible. The function of the critic is to inform us amd to achieve a kind of au- tonomy within his art. ‘We are now in a world where we think that the clearest and most profitable explanations are to be found in the’ principles of mathematics, physics, and ~ logic. Today what the poet expresses must have to do with the compli- cated problems of today’s world and the abstract answers to them. “The critic must know about the mature of man and yet must deal with the poem or the product in front of him, It is true that criticism is a branch of philosophy. The critic must compare state- ments about the nature of man and the nature of art. The crit- ical attitude exists even in poets. The poet inevitably tells us about the nature of man and the world.

I would not use the word ‘sick’, as I don’t really understand what it means. A lot of good poetry is very diffi- cult.

Individual bits of dialogue and characterization were the best on the Class Night program, but. the general impression made by the show was scattered and marred by its prevailing bitterness. The seniors had a great deal of polish, a good deal of imagina- | tion, music, and warmth, all of which combined to produce a con- sistently pleasurable show. Their theme was expansion, removed from its immediate campus sur- roundings to the Comet. The music succeeded in convert- ing what might have been rather flat dialogue into quite clever lyr- ics. The acting was on the whole not as good as in the juniors’ show, if such a comparison serves any purpose. Huey, however, made the warmth and personal touch of the old (present) Comet a very lively reality. This warmth and the consistent briskness of pace, as well as a very creditable script, pushed the show well above its competitors.

With this information in mind members of the Board and non- voting Hall Presidents reconsider- ed the issue and split into two clearly definable camps. The pro- the privilege of expanding a slate is a basic legal right and tradition- al to the democratic election, Those opposed protested that the grant- ing of the privilege would consti- tute a change in the election sys- tem, and that the right to expect stability in the laws of a proced- ure for the duration of that pro- cedure is as essential as the right to add a cadidate to an existing slate. A motion of the second camp to nullify Write-In ballots and keep the issue from the campus was defeated seven to six; a modifica- tion of this proposal in the form of a second motion to nullify the Write-In but to communicate this decision to the student body via the Hall Presidents satisfied enough of the Pro-Write-Ins to be passed. It should be emphasized here that the decision was based not. on the inherent qualities of the Write-In ballot or on a denial of its legal “rightness”; Executive Board vot- ed to nullify the Write-In because it did not feel justified in effecting a change in voting procedure dur- ing the course of an election. The rationale for the clause re- quiring communication of the de- cision to the student body was a willingness to see it revoked if campus opinion-so-decreed. Since a petition of 10% of the student body can call a Legislature, and Legislature can “in turn override decisions of the Executive Board, it was felt that grass-root agita- tion, if present, would determine the issue. A petition for an Emergency. Legislature was drawn up shortly after the meeting but by members of the original pro-write-in camp rather than grass-root agitators. In a few hours they collected 138 signatures, considerably more than the necessary 10%, and a Legisla- ture was called “to over-ride a measure” which was felt to un- dermine a “basic legal right.” Saturday .afternoon a third Ex- ecutive Board meeting was called to omece again air views and clar- | ify issues for Sunday’s Legislature.

Under he guidance of parlia- mentition Mr. James Kweeder, Program Vice-President of NSA, a full Legislature, showing little indication of the agitation whose alleged existence had prompted the original Executive Board ac- tion, almost immediately passed a motion to allow Write-In votes.

The arguement in favor was that the requirement had in the past necessitated revoting and with the additional candidates in a write-in contest would prove even more cumbersome. The angument opposed, agaim that of timing, was given emphasis by Mr. Kjweeder’s comment on the undesirability of ‘setting a precedent which might one day be-used as the justifica- tion of changing the system im- mediately prior to an election to suit the whims of a particular in- terest.
