For the second time in as many days, a non-Quadrangle resident was found naked in a bathroom in the dormitory. College freshman Marnie Sambur said she saw a man yesterday walking in the basement hallway of the Speakman section of the Quad toward a coed bathroom. University Police said the nude man found yesterday did not match the description of a man found Wednesday showering in women's bathrooms on both the third and fourth floor of the Class of '28 section of the Quad. Sambur said she immediately called University Police yesterday to notify them about the man who she described as "balding with longish-reddish hair, medium height, medium build and carrying an army backpack." University Police Sergeant Joseph Risoli said the man was questioned by University Police. Because he did not match the description of the man from Wednesday's incidents, he was released. Resident advisor and Wharton senior Dominick Senese said he saw University Police questioning the stranger who was found showering in the Quad yesterday. He said the suspect had a PennCard that allowed him to gain admittance into the dorm. Residents on Senese's floor said they were interested in the unexpected visitor and followed him into the bathroom. "I saw him as he was about to go into the shower," College freshman Daniel Orr said. "He was naked." Orr said he also called University Police after his encounter in the bathroom. College freshman Joshua Goldberg said he used the bathroom while the man was still inside. "I said, 'What's up?'," Goldberg said. "He was busy putting his shoes on." Sambur said, however, that she was concerned for her safety after encountering the man in the hall. "I was apprehensive," Sambur said. "I didn't want to be in my room by myself." Senese said he checked the door to the Class of '28 section and it was not propped open yesterday. On Wednesday, residents claimed it had been left open for several days, when the first unidentified man was spotted.
