The Roach was an important part of Hawaii's alternative press during the late 1960s.

According to a brief history by Ryan Ozawa:

Maine-born editor Jon Olson and a handful of other staff members put out The Roach (May 1968–April 1969). Unlike the Sandwich Isle Free Press, Olson’s newspaper had an fierce activist tone. The first issues recounted the controversy surrounding Oliver Lee — an assistant professor of political science whose tenure was threatened when he criticized the war — and the subsequent protest occupation of Bachman Hall (dubbed "Liberation Hall") on April 20, 1968. The Roach printed the names of the 153 people who were arrested in a "Roll of Honor."

I don't have a complete set but do have most of the first volume, which I'll eventually finish scanning and make available here.
