Venus-
Continued from page 9 Tass said the details received from the instrument package showed the atmosphere on earth's nearest planet was almost entirely carbon dioxide.
Tass said the capsule, spun off a carrier rocket by radio command, descended through the murk shrouding Venus and landed softly by means of "aerodynamic braking of the apparatus in the atmosphere." It did not describe the system, presumably small retrorockets.
There were no traces of nitrogen and hydrogen. Other vapors accounted for about 1.5 per cent of the atmosphere, Tass said.
Temperatures ranged from 40 to 280 degrees Centigrade, 114 to 536 degrees Fahrenheit, at different levels of the atmosphere.
Tass then referred to an "automatic parachute system." It said a parachute system "took over and it and the package continued gradual descent on the atmosphere of Venus."

SYMBOL DEPLETON
We've almost lost a good word,and we hate to see it go.
The movie industry may feel the same way about words such as colossal, gigantic, sensational and history-making. They're good words—good symbols. But they've been overused, and we tend to pay them little heed. Their effectiveness as symbols is being depleted.
One of our own problems is with the word "opportunity." It's suffering symbol depletion, too. It's passed over with scant notice in an advertisement. It's been used too much and too loosely.
This bothers us because we still like to talk about opportunity. A position at Collins holds great potential. Potential for involvement in designing and producing some of the most important communication systems in the world. Potential for progressive advancement in responsibility and income. Unsurpassed potential for pride-in-product.
That's opportunity.
And we wish we could use the word more often.
Collins representatives will visit your campus this year. Contact your College Placement Office for details.
