Abstract
A phenomenological model for normal hadronic decays of ψ and ψ has been proposed, where these decays are assumed to proceed via SU(3) vector currents. We predict an approximate universal decay ratio of ψ and ψ into any normal hadronic channels. A potential inconsistency of the quark-line rule has been pointed out. If we remedy this defect suitably, then the nonet ansatz can explain the puzzling ratio Γ(ψφπ+π)Γ(ψωπ+π)=0.20±0.10 in a simple way. Our model predicts also many relations which can be easily tested experimentally.
