  We consider decays of the lowest-lying positive parity 56-plet and negative
parity bf 70-plet excited baryons. For the 70-plet, we include both
single-quark and two-quark decay operators, and find, somewhat mysteriously,
that the two-quark operators are not phenomenologically important. Studies of
decays 70-plet to Delta(1232) + photon may strengthen or vitiate this
observation. For the 56-plet decays, now using only the single-quark operator,
we can predict many strong decays after fitting parameters on the assumption
that the Roper is a 3q state. Comparison of these predictions to experiment can
verify the structure of the 56-plet. As a sidelight, we show a large N_c
derivation of the old Gursey-Radicati mass formula.
