Students at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology decided today by a majority vote against establishment of official contacts with students in West Germany.
In a referendum sponsored by the Students Union, 1,438 students — 68 percent of those participating — voted against any contacts and 636, or 29 percent, voted for such contacts. Two-thirds of the Technion’s 2,300 students took part in the vote. In a similar poll three years ago, 51 percent of the students voted against such contacts and 43 percent for them.
