There are 3737 students in the University Travel Club. The following information and Venn diagram show how many students traveled to Germany, France, and Spain. How many students have been to Germany or France but not Spain?

1717 members have visited Germany
1919 have been to Spain
1414 have visited France
77 have been to Germany and France
44 have only been to Germany
77 have only been to Spain
33 have been to only Spain and France
33 have been to all three countries
Some of the members have not been to any of the three

To find how many students have been to **Germany or France but not Spain**, we can break the problem down step-by-step using the information provided and the rules of set theory. Let's represent the sets as:

- \( G \) = students who have visited **Germany**
- \( F \) = students who have visited **France**
- \( S \) = students who have visited **Spain**

From the dataTo find how many students have been to **Germany or France but not Spain**, we can break the problem down step-by-step using the information provided and the rules of set theory. Let's represent the sets as:

- \( G \) = students who have visited **Germany**
- \( F \) = students who have visited **France**
- \( S \) = students who have visited **Spain**

From the 
- \( |G| = 1717 \) (total visited Germany)
- \( |S| = 1919 \) (total visited Spain)
- \( |F| = 1414 \) (total visited France)
- \( |G \cap F| = 77 \) (visited both Germany and France)
- \( |G \cap F \cap S| = 33 \) (visited all three countries)
- \( 44 \) visited **only Germany**
- \( 77 \) visited **only Spain**
- \( 33 \) visited **only Spain and France**

We need to calculate how many students have visited **Germany or France but not Spain**. This includes:
- Students who visited **only Germany**
- Students who visited **only France**
- Students who visited **both Germany and France** but **not Spain**

### Step 1: Find students who visited **only France**
From the total number of students who visited France (\( |F| = 1414 \)), we know that 33 students visited both Spain and France, and 33 students visited all three countries. The students who visited only France would be:
\[
|F_{\text{only}}| = 1414 - 33 - 33 - 77 = 1271
\]

### Step 2: Find students who visited **both Germany and France but not Spain**
This can be calculated by subtracting those who visited all three countries (\( 33 \)) from those who visited both Germany and France (\( 77 \)):
\[
|G \cap F \text{ (but not } S)| = 77 - 33 = 44
\]

### Step 3: Add the required groups
To find the total number of students who visited **Germany or France but not Spain**, we add the following:
- Only Germany: 44
- Only France: 1271
- Both Germany and France but not Spain: 44

So, the total is:
\[
44 + 1271 + 44 = 1359
\]

### Final Answer:
The number of students who have been to Germany or France but not Spain is **1359**.
