  We extend the algebraic-eikonal approach to medium energy proton scattering
from odd-mass nuclei by combining the eikonal approximation for the scattering
with a description of odd-mass nuclei in terms of the interacting boson-fermion
model. We derive closed expressions for the transition matrix elements for one
of the dynamical symmetries and discuss the interplay between collective and
single-particle degrees of freedom in an application to elastic and inelastic
proton scattering from $^{195}$Pt.
