Get rid of event list in iCal view

Question

I just upgraded to Lion.  When I first opened iCal, it showed a single column with events shown by hour.  Somehow, in fiddling with the settings, I ended up with two columns -- one on the left showing past and future events as a scrollable list, and one on the right showing events by the hour for a specific day, week, etc.
How do I get back to the single column showing events by the hour?  I don't want the scrollable list.

Don H., I feel your pain.
I just picked up my new MBP from the Apple Store tonight. They imported all of my data, and when I picked up the computer, they took me through each app to make sure all my data had imported correctly. When they showed me iCal, it looked perfect--all of my stuff was there, hour by hour, in Day view. It basically looked just like it did in Snow Leopard. My friend's birthday is today, so I was delighted to see that Event at the top of the hour-by-hour list--that's how I knew my data was there.
When I opened iCal at home, it looks completely different. I now have this horrible formatting with a giant monthly calendar and a list of events on the left. The hour-by-hour list (which is what I use iCal for) is so narrow that I can't read any of the entries in their entirety. I dragged the border as far as I could to maximize the width of the hour-by-hour list and it's still only a little over an inch wide.  Meanwhile, the list of events that I DON'T need is 4 to 5 inches wide. 
I've looked through all of the help menus and the only options for "viewing the calendar differently" are Day, Week, Month or Year. 
What I don't understand is, why did it look normal while I was at the store, but completely different when I got home?  If it had looked like this at the store, I could've asked for help while I was there. I'm disappointed in the new format but can't figure out how to get back to what it looked like at the store. Wish I could help. I'll keep watching this discussion to see if you get help. Good luck.
