Six new rotational bands have been established in [sup 115]I at high spin using the near symmetric [sup 60]Ni([sup 58]Ni,3[ital p][gamma]) reaction at 250 MeV. Several of the bands are observed to frequencies beyond [h bar][omega]=1.0 MeV (spin approaching 50[h bar]). All the bands show a characteristic drop off in their dynamic moments of inertia with increasing spin. The low values at the highest spins are consistent with predictions for a band termination in which a gradual shape change from collective prolate to noncollective oblate occurs over many transitions. these smoothly occurring terminations contrast with the abrupt favored'' terminations previously observed in this and other odd-[ital A] iodine nuclei.
