Variations of the stick principle

The stick principle asserts that there is a family of infinite subsets of $\omega_1$ of size $\aleph_1$ so that any uncountable subset of $\omega_1$ has some member of the family as a subset. We will give a forcing construction to separate versions of the stick principle which put a bound on the order-type of the subsets in the family. Time permitting, we will say a little about the relation of the stick principle with the existence of Suslin trees.
