The effect can be explained within dual string models: excitations of three strings in the baryon produce ``faster'' combinatorics than a single string in the meson, hence lead to a more rapid growth of baryons than mesons. Predictions of other approaches for the gross features of particle spectra are also discussed.Talk presented at Few-quark problems, Bled, 8-15 July 2000, 16 pages, 9 figuresHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - TheoryNuclear Theorytext
