run it with factor() instead of ordered(). You don't want the

If you don't want polynomial contrasts for ordered factors, you can just tell R

options(contrasts=c("contr.treatment","contr.treatment"))
It's like the Good Old Days when you had to use options() to tell S-PLUS not to
use Helmert contrasts.
