Yes, Himura has mentioned before that they were friends in the same circle in college.

God those old hairstyles are adorable!

I'm don't think いつか is supposed to mean "Eventual" here, since the party in question has happened ages ago, when the two were still in university. You can see the flashback bubbles from Kakyo-san in the top right corner indicating this.

Speaking of her, apparently Mr. Himura is calling her "Rikei-chan" (literally "Science-chan") now, probably as a callback to her first appearance. I suppose we could wait and see if he actually sticks to it in her future appearances before we change her tag accordingly.

On another note, what do you guys think he means by "four-year battle" in the commentary?

I'd assume he's talking about the four year battle with university. Since the third comment refers to freshmen, its probably just talking about how they've got four years of university to go, as of this flashback.

Say, does Freshman Kouhai-chan's hairstyle count as a side ponytail?

I see. Altered the commentary translation to better reflect this.
