Dear R listers,

I am regressing an ordered variable over an ordered independent variable
using polr.

The output lists every level of the ordered independent variable repeating
its name and adding a suffix. In my case my variable is called "o.particip"
and in my regression table I get the following:

o.particip.L

o.particip.Q

o.particip.C

o.particip^4

o.particip^5

o.particip^6


Is there any way to control the way R name the levels? I'd like each level
to be consistently identified (either numbers or letters) and preferably
I'd prefer to see the original naming of the level (the value label - in
Stata dictionary). Moreover, the little "hat" in "o.particip^4" drives
latex nuts. Any ideas on how to fix these things?
Thank you very much for your kind help,
f.
