The level densities and radiative strength functions (RSFs) of $^{50,51}$V have been extracted using the ($^3$He,$\alpha \gamma$) and ($^3$He,$^3$He$^{\prime} \gamma$) reactions, respectively. From the level densities, microcanonical entropies are deduced. The high $\gamma$-energy part of the RSF is described by the giant electric dipole resonance. A significant enhancement over the predicted strength in the region of $E_{\gamma} \lesssim 3$ MeV is seen, which at present has no theoretical explanation., Comment: 16 pages including 9 figures
