SCHOLARSHIP & RESEARCH Winslow studies hormone effect on social memory New drug examined as anxiety disorder treatment   CAMPUS BRIEFS Cabinet approves temperature standards The President's Cabinet has approved adoption of a policy on the standardization of tempreature ranges for University buildings. Facilities Manage-ment recommended the policy as a way to provide some consistency inside building environments and reduce hot/cold call maintence. Approved tempreature ranges are 70-74 degrees Farenheit for all office spaces, and 68-76 degrees Fahrenheit for common spaces, such as corridors, restrooms, elevator lobbies and classrooms. Ranges for museums, libraries, research laboratories, vivariums and other special use spaces will be set according to individual departments responsible for the space. FM would like to implement these changes immediately for all office and common spaces. FM will contact building representatives to help identify special use spaces or other areas having unique tempreature requirements, said Bob Hascall, FM senior associate vice president.
