In the ensuing algebraic treatment we derive closed expressions for decay widths which are used to analyze the experimental data for strong decays into the pion and eta channels.17 pages, uuencoded, invited talk at XIX Oaxtepec Symposium on Nuclear PhysicsNuclear TheoryHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
