Professor William Gilkerson did the right thing when he asked people to leave the room until the experiment was completed and the dangerous liquid oxygen evaporated, he said. "We use liquid nitrogen all the time,' Odom said. * * With liquid oxygen there is need for concern. The amount that was there could have caused a small but violent explosion." Safety is also a factor when choosing experiments for classes, he said.
