  We study baryon spectroscopy including the effects of pseudoscalar meson
exchange and one gluon exchange potentials between quarks, governed by
$\alpha_s$. The non-perturbative, hyperspherical method calculations show that
one can obtain a good description of the data by using a quark-meson coupling
constant that is compatible with the measured pion-nucleon coupling constant,
and a reasonably small value of $\alpha_s$.
