iCal: How do I add new event types with new colors?

So iCal has "Work" and "Home" as two of its default event types associated with the colors green and blue respectively. How do I add a third event type, say "School", and set its color to be something other than blue or green, say red?

Exclude hours from Calendar?

Is it possible to lock the position, or delete the options for earlier or later, of the Calendar app on OS X? I don't want anything before 8am or after 10pm, but the calendar moves too easily, so I may not always be aware of some entries.
