The campus ministry also worried about muddy conditions and hazardous roads. Other students, such as fi rst-year pharmacy student Chelsea Frazier and first- year undeclared student Mia Pikramenos, waited anxiously to see if their weekend plans would fall through. The girls said they watched the weather all week and feared they would have to cancel their trip, but when they woke up on Saturday the weather was beautiful. According to the Web site of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), scientists still predict a hurricane season with a high level of activity, but have retreated slightly from predictions made in May 2006. For the 2006 season, NOAA expects 12 to 15 systems to become named storms, seven of which will likely develop into hurricanes. It also predicts three of four of these storms to become intense hurricanes with a rating of three or higher. While this outlook is more promising than predictions made last May, it still remains high above the current seasonal average. Will Floyd, a fourth-year biology student, said the new season predictions won’t pose a big threat around the USC and Columbia area. “We live so far inland, I only expect a little more rain,” Floyd said. “It’s probably not going to make a difference.” Comments on this story?

Hidden cafe provides quaint atmosphere for afternoon luncheons
Stephanie Helling THE DAILY GAMECOCK
Tucked away on a quiet street corner behind the State House is a little restaurant that most people have never heard of. Immaculate Consumption is a little coffee shop that also boasts a surprisingly lengthy menu full of specialty sandwiches and salads. The atmosphere is very warm and intimate and immediately reminds you of a downtown coffee shop, which it is. Wooden booths line the walls of the restaurant and random posters and memorabilia also serve as decoration. There is also additional seating downstairs, where the employees also roast their own coffee beans every morning. At fi rst I was a little hesitant about the food. My previous experiences with coffee shops taught me that coffee was the main priority and the food always came second in quality and taste. This was defi nitely not the case with Immaculate Consumption. The menu included sandwiches that ranged from roast beef to turkey to tuna, all served on your choice of breads. Salads were also on the menu, along with soups and homemade cookies and muffins. My date and I both ordered the smoked turkey croissant, also known as the Big D. It was delivered to our table in about ten minutes and also came with a side of either pasta salad or chips. The sandwich was wonderful and the pasta salad, which can sometimes be a rather bland choice, was also excellent. Everything tasted very fresh and you could tell it hadn’t been sitting under a heat lamp in the back for hours. I also got a large iced mocha, which was equally delicious and gave just the mid-afternoon jolt that I needed. After talking with Steve, one of the staff members at Immaculate Consumption, I learned that all of the food is so good because their chef graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in New York. This is something that I would not have expected from a small coffee shop in downtown Columbia, which impressed me even further. I also learned that one of the best selling items from the menu is the Consumption Salad, which has roast beef, turkey, smoked ham, mild white cheddar cheese and your choice of dressing. Also, the Tanzanian Peaberry is one of their best selling coffees. “I think people just like saying the name,” Steven joked. To say the least, I was very impressed with Immaculate Consumption. My date even commented on how he was skeptical about the food since it was a coffee shop yet they proved him very wrong. It’s the perfect place to go for lunch when you just get tired of campus food and want to go someplace different. It is also within walking distance of the campus, located just minutes from the horseshoe and next to the Nickelodeon theatre. I would defi nitely recommend Immaculate Consumption to anyone who just wants some good food and a great change of scenery yet doesn’t have the time to stray too far from campus.
