Peek'T'alks on President
For Incoming Freshmen
Extension Service Sets Courses
By ELLEN SILVERMAN
A president's power comes from
his ability to persuade and mold
public opinion, not from his power
to command, Prof. George Peek of
the political science department
said yesterday at a student-
faculty discussion for new fresh-
men.
Prof. Peek spoke through the
facilities of a closed circuit tele-
vision which was beamed to 12
rooms in the Frieze Bldg.
Basing some of the lecture on
a new book, "Presidential Power,"
by Richard Neustadt of Columbia
University, he stressed that the
power of a president fails when.
he is forced to use his power to
command..
Using the illustrations of Tru-
man's firing of Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur, seizure of the steel mills
and the entrance of troops into
Little Rock, he pointed out that
in each case the president had
failed earlier to persuade the pub-
lic and the persons involved to
avoid such action.

failure of the president, who did
not keep his power within his
own hands.
He emphasized that a president
can keep informed and ready to
make his own decisions by reading
newspapers, have cross-informa-
tion channels and informing the
public by focusing on the issues.
Prof. Peek cited former Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt's use
of "fireside chats" to inform the
public and thereby mold public
opinion.
The power that a president
holds may justify the use of the

... president's role
phrase "constitutionally limited
dictatorship," he said. This power
is, however, dependent upon the
president's"subtle use" of it and
not his "bold initiation of action
by direct commands to people
not already convinced of its bene-
fit."
