The properties of the ground-state U spin =(3/2) baryon decuplet magnetic moments DELTA{sup -}, XI*{sup -}, SIGMA*{sup -}, and OMEGA{sup -} and their ground-state spin-(1/2) cousins p, n, LAMBDA, SIGMA{sup +}, SIGMA{sup 0}, SIGMA{sup -}, XI{sup +}, and XI{sup -} have been studied for many years with a modicum of success. The magnetic moments of many are yet to be determined. Of the decuplet baryons, only the magnetic moment of the OMEGA{sup -} has been accurately determined. We calculate the magnetic moments of the physical decuplet U spin =(3/2) quartet members without ascribing any specific form to their quark structure or intraquark interactions.
