Different section looks

I like the way phpslash works and I'm comfortable with the more or less 
default install (http://plantbreeding.org) but I'd like to be able to post 
stories into different sections and give them a different look.  For 
example, I want to make an event calendar section.  The "story" would need 
a start date and end date.  In the calendar view, one would see all the 
events sorted by start date.  The story box would only include dates, Title 
(linked to a conference website or whatever), and location.  Just a simple 
list with the list of events.

To do this, my thoughts are as follows:

simply add the additional fields to the story table and modify the "submit 
story" and "edit_story" accordingly. (perhaps best would be a edit calender 
link and not mess with the functioning story forms).

create a very simple "fancybox.tpl" how I like it

How do I have the calendar section use simplebox.tpl while the home section 
uses fancybox.tpl?

Any better ways to do it?
