  The orbitally excited heavy quark baryons are studied in the Callan Klebanov
bound state model with heavy spin symmetry. First, a compact description of the
large $N_c$, infinite heavy quark mass bound state wavefunctions and the
collective quantization is given. In order to study the kinematical corrections
due to finite masses we motivate an approximate Schrodinger-like equation for
the bound state. The effective potential in this equation is compared with the
quadratic approximation (spherical harmonic oscillator) to it. This oscillator
approximation is seen to be not very accurate. It is noted that the present
experimental information cannot be even qualitatively understood with the usual
light sector chiral Lagrangian containing only light pseudoscalar mesons. The
addition of light vector mesons helps to overcome this problem.
