Excitation of the K = 2/sup -/ octupole band up to the 14/sup -/ member in the reaction /sup 181/Ta(p, 2n..gamma..)/sup 180/W shows an odd-even energy staggering. This staggering can be interpreted in terms of different Coriolis-induced alignments of the rotational and octupole vibrational angular momenta for the odd- and even-spin members of the K = 2/sup -/ octupole band. There is no evidence that the K = 2/sup -/ octupole vibration decomposes into two-quasiparticle decoupled states even at the highest spins observed.
