In a report released Tuesday, the council recommended expanding the choices available to youths by. improving high schools with $500 million in federal funding, by training students on the job or in community colleges, by retaining voluntary military service, and by ending compulsory schooling at age 16. The council also proposed programs including a national youth service founda tion to coordinate and expand volunteer service projects, a work-study program for 16- to 19-year-olds similar to college-age programs, and an additional $500 million . in federal job funds for youths if there is a sharp increase in unemployment. v The commission called for gradual development of a comprehensive voluntary '. youth service. . - - NORTHRIDGE, .

While most of her 165 students say they enjoy the class, others have claimed it is too unstructured. Ball is also critical of her performance as a teacher, but said things are, smoothing out after a rocky start. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.

The caller wouldn't say who stole the. drum, but denied earlier reports that Northwestern University students were to blame. Police and band officials said they have no clues to the culprits' identities, but commended them for their imagination and for returning the drum undamaged.
