Violence erupts as Panamanian students clash near Carter visit
A four hour battle on the University of Panama campus leaves one dead and six wounded as factions opposed to President Torrijos and the canal treaties clash near where President Carter will stay Friday. Police and National Guard intervene after heavy gunfire and Molotov exchanges end in the early hours. Carter's visit is framed as a step toward Panama gaining control of its national territory and the canal by 2000.
