  Pseudo-SU(3) shell-model results are reported for M1 excitation strengths in
157-Gd, 163-Dy and 169-Tm in the energy range between 2 and 4 MeV. Non-zero
pseudo-spin couplings between the configurations play a very important role in
determining the M1 strength distribution, especially its rapidly changing
fragmentation pattern which differs significantly from what has been found in
neighboring even-even systems. The results suggest one should examine
contributions from intruder levels.
